Weather in Egypt: Rising temperatures and humidity warnings
The country will experience hot and humid weather across most regions in the coming days, as Egypt is affected by a high-pressure system that increases the feeling of heat, especially during the daytime. The Meteorological Authority expects these conditions to continue affecting Cairo, the Nile Delta, and the governorates of Upper Egypt.
The Authority explained that high humidity is the primary factor in increasing the sensation of heat, as it reaches high levels during the night and early morning hours. This humid weather makes the perceived temperatures higher than the actual temperatures measured in the shade.
In a related context, the Meteorological Authority warned citizens against direct exposure to sunlight for long periods, especially at noon, to avoid heat exhaustion. The Authority also advised drinking sufficient amounts of water and fluids to maintain body hydration and avoid the side effects of the hot weather.
Regarding other weather phenomena, light mist is expected to appear in the early morning on agricultural and main roads near water bodies. Therefore, the General Traffic Department called on drivers to exercise caution while driving in the early morning and to adhere to the designated speed limits to ensure everyone's safety.
In conclusion, this heatwave is expected to continue for several days before temperatures begin to gradually decrease. Citizens are advised to follow the daily weather bulletins issued by the Meteorological Authority to stay informed about the latest developments and weather conditions in their governorates.
