  "summary": "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. However, temperatures are expected to drop to between 35C and 36C on Wednesday and Thursday, though the decrease will not be immediately noticeable due to the ongoing high humidity. The EMA has advised residents to avoid direct sun exposure, stay hydrated, and wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to cope with the extreme temperatures.",
