  "account": "Egypt is set to experience a substantial decrease in temperatures and rainfall on Sunday, according to forecasts from the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA). Daytime temperatures will be mild across most regions, but will drop to cool to cold levels during the night and early morning hours. This trend is expected to persist until Thursday, November 12.\n\nThe EMA predicts varying temperature ranges, with Greater Cairo and Lower Egypt seeing highs of 24°C and lows of 16°C, while Northern Coasts can expect highs of 23°C and lows of 17°C. Northern Upper Egypt will have highs of 25°C and lows of 15°C, and Southern Upper Egypt will see highs of 28°C and lows of 17°C. Sharm El-Sheikh will experience highs of 26°C and lows of 20°C.\n\nThe EMA has issued a warning about the formation of dense water mist between four am and nine am, which may affect roads in northern Egypt, including Greater Cairo, Suez Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt, potentially reducing visibility. There is also a 30 percent chance of light to moderate rainfall, primarily in the northern coast, northern Lower Egypt, and northern Sinai, with a 20 percent chance of light rain in parts of southern Lower Egypt, the Suez Canal cities, and the Gulf of Suez, possibly extending to Greater Cairo and the Red Sea Governorate.\n\nMaritime navigation on the Mediterranean coast, including areas like Matrouh, Al-Alamein, Alexandria, Beheira, Kafr el-Sheikh, and Damietta, is experiencing disruptions due to winds reaching 40–50 km/h and wave heights of two to three meters. Winds are also expected to increase periodically across most regions, making the cold temperatures feel even chillier.\n\nCitizens are advised to wear warm clothing, particularly at night and in the early morning, and to drive cautiously on roads affected by mist. The public is also encouraged to stay informed with the latest updates from the EMA.",
