The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has forecasted that Egypt will encounter rain, thunderstorms, and flash floods from Sunday through next Wednesday. This widespread rainy spell is expected to affect regions from the Red Sea mountain ranges, including Ras Banas and Abu Ramad, to the Mediterranean coast, the Nile Delta, and parts of Upper Egypt.
Satellite imagery reveals thunderclouds over these areas, with varying intensities of rainfall. Intermittent rains are also anticipated in cities like Halayeb and Shalateen. The EMA's satellite imagery suggests that this prolonged rainy period could lead to flash floods, particularly in areas surrounding the Mediterranean and Red Sea.
These conditions are set to begin on Sunday evening and persist into Monday, impacting the Red Sea region, South Sinai, and Upper Egypt. Beginning Wednesday, similar weather patterns will affect the Mediterranean coast, the Suez Canal region, North Sinai, northwestern Upper Egypt, and potentially Greater Cairo. The EMA has also warned of thunderstorms, including lightning and downdrafts, with a specific focus on South Sinai, the Red Sea mountain range, Aswan, and the southern parts of Upper Egypt.
The authority has advised citizens to take necessary precautions and stay informed by following the latest updates from the EMA.
