Arab Weather - The latest weather analyses issued by the Arab Weather Center indicate growing signs that Egypt will be affected by a deep Khamaseen depression during the final days of April. This depression is expected to bring severe weather fluctuations across the country, manifested in noticeably dusty conditions and strong winds, along with the possibility of thunderstorms in some areas, particularly in the northwestern regions.

The Khamaseen depression will be deep in its center and accompanied by weather fluctuations.

The Khamaseen depression is expected to be remarkably deep, accompanied by a hot, dry air mass rushing into Egypt's skies, leading to a significant drop in atmospheric pressure. As a result, winds will become noticeably active and intensify at intervals, with gusts approaching 100 kilometers per hour. These conditions create ample opportunity for the development of strong, near-total sandstorms, which will significantly reduce horizontal visibility, especially in desert and exposed areas, and negatively impact transportation and daily life.

As a cold trough pushes through the upper atmosphere, unstable weather conditions are forming in the region, creating the potential for thunderstorms and rain showers in some areas. These showers are expected to be heavy at times, especially in Egypt's northwestern regions.

A severe sandstorm is likely during the period when Egypt is affected by the Khamasin depression.

Experts at the Arab Weather Center are monitoring the impact of what could be the most severe sandstorm in years on Egypt during the period of influence of the deep Khamaseen depression. The Khamaseen depression is accompanied by extremely strong winds and intense gusts reaching unusual speeds, which will lead to intense sandstorms that will significantly impact visibility and disrupt traffic and air navigation, in addition to impacting the health of citizens in some areas.

We will provide you with full details on weather developments over the coming days, with ongoing updates on the impact of the Khamaseen depression and the sandstorm.

And God knows best.
