Extremely hot weather will prevail over Greater Cairo, Lower Egypt, South Sinai and southern regions of the country through Wednesday.

Luckily, the North Coast will experience more merciful daytime weather and the whole country will benefit from moderate temperatures at night.

Additionally, direct contact with sunlight will increase felt temperature so better get those hats and sunglasses and don’t forget your sunscreen!

Strong winds in South Sinai on Friday may cause dusty weather in western regions of the country.

Furthermore, morning mist on roads leading to and from the northeast coast and Suez Canal cities in the early hours of the morning will affect visibility.
