Temperatures are expected to rise gradually across much of the country Monday through Thursday, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority's (EMA) press release on Sunday.
Extremely hot and humid weather is expected to prevail in most of the country on Monday, including in the North Coast.
According to the EMA, higher levels of humidity would induce a stronger sensation of heat, causing felt temperatures to exceed recorded ones by 2 to 4 degrees.
Daytime high temperatures in Greater Cairo are expected to range between 37 and 40 degrees. However, temperatures as felt by individuals could rise to 41 degrees.
In Egypt's deep south, the mercury is expected to climb even higher, reaching 38 to 44 degrees, the EMA noted.
Outdoor temperatures in northern Upper Egypt are predicted to reach 40-43 degrees, while southern Upper Egypt could experience 42-45 degrees, warned the EMA.
Even the typically milder North Coast, including Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh, will experience warmer days, with temperatures anticipated to hit 32-34 degrees, which may feel like 43-37 degrees.
Nights and early mornings will offer little respite, remaining hot and humid, the EMA forecast.
