Clouds will appear at various altitudes, accompanied by thunderstorms in some areas, particularly the northwest.

 

Active southwesterly winds are blowing, with strong gusts reaching 100 km/h, leading to dust storms in several areas, particularly the Canal cities and the Sinai Peninsula, extending to the East Coast cities, Greater Cairo, and the Sinai Peninsula.
