The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has forecasted that a severe heatwave across Egypt will subside by Wednesday, bringing respite to the country's population. High humidity levels have been exacerbating the perceived temperature, with the EMA stating that it could rise by up to four degrees Celsius.
