The EMA expects light fog in the morning on some agricultural and major roads near water bodies, with moderate winds that may occasionally intensify.

Light-to-moderate rain is also expected, which could be accompanied by thunderstorms and, in some cases, may lead to floods in southern Upper Egypt and the southern Red Sea Mountains.

Additionally, strong winds might stir up sand and dust.

Temperatures in Cairo and Lower Egypt are expected to rise to 39 degrees, while South Sinai will see higher daytime temperatures of 43 degrees.

Meanwhile, visitors to the North Coast should expect cooler highs of 36 degrees.

In northern Upper Egypt, daytime temperatures will reach 43 degrees, while southern Upper Egypt will remain hot throughout the week with highs of 45 degrees.

These temperature spikes, which affected much of the country in recent weeks, highlight a worrying trend of escalating heatwaves affecting the region as temperatures continue to rise globally.

Experts attribute this to a combination of global climate change and local environmental factors, which create conditions ripe for such record-breaking heat.

They also warn that such extreme heat events may become more frequent and severe.

The EMA has advised citizens to stay indoors, remain hydrated, and avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
