An extreme heatwave is currently affecting Egypt, with temperatures soaring to a high of 46C in some areas, accompanied by gusty winds. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has reported that Greater Cairo is expected to record a high of 37C, with a real-feel temperature reaching 39C, while South Upper Egypt will experience a real-feel temperature of 46C.
Morning fog may be dense on some roads leading to and from the north of the country, potentially impacting travel. Light to moderate rainfall and occasional thunderstorms are also predicted in certain regions, particularly along the northwestern coasts and the northern Nile Delta, while a very slight chance of light rain exists over parts of Halayeb, Shalateen, and south of Aswan.
Wind activity is expected across most areas, potentially stirring up sand and dust over parts of the Western Desert, North Upper Egypt, and open areas of the western coasts, Greater Cairo, and the Nile Delta.
