The popular Red Sea resort cities of Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada will be slightly warmer with highs of 26-27 degrees and lows of 19 in the next two days.

Stong winds will lead to the disruption of maritime navigation on the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez on Thursday, and probably Friday as well, EMA said.
