Starting Tuesday, Egypt is bracing for a heat wave according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA). Temperatures are set to soar until the end of the week, peaking from Tuesday through Thursday. In Cairo, the temperature is forecast to swing between 37C and 38C.
The EMA has cautioned that elevated humidity levels will boost the perceived temperature by a couple of degrees. This could push it as high as 40C, particularly during the hottest part of the day. Across most of the country, the weather will be oppressively hot and humid during daytime hours. Along the northern coast, conditions will similarly be hot and humid.
As night falls, the weather will remain warm and humid across much of the nation. However, humidity levels are expected to dip slightly overnight, hovering around 80 to 85 percent in Cairo and Lower Egypt, and 90 to 95 percent along the northern coast. This high humidity will amplify the perceived heat.
The EMA has advised residents to stay informed about daily weather updates and take appropriate measures to cope with the extreme conditions. Special caution is urged while driving in foggy situations.
