Arab Weather - Arab Weather experts confirmed that according to the latest computer simulation readings and satellite images, it is clear that a very cold air mass of polar origin is rushing towards southern Europe and North Africa, which brings significant changes to the weather conditions represented by strong winds and heavy rainfall in low-lying areas, in the form of snow on the mountains.

How will the low pressure affect Egypt in the coming days?

Egypt is affected by the dry part of the depression due to its center being far from Egypt , and this is in the form of active southwesterly winds, with strong gusts that stir up sand in many areas, including Greater Cairo and desert roads, causing a significant decrease in horizontal visibility, especially in the northwestern regions of the republic, and the winds are also laden with dust carried from Libyan lands.

Egypt will be affected by a cold air mass in the coming days, so temperatures will drop significantly for the rest of the week, becoming 2-3 degrees Celsius cooler than their average for this time of year. The weather will be relatively cold in the northern regions, and tending to be cold in the rest of the regions except for the far south of Upper Egypt, with clouds appearing at different heights, which may be accompanied by local showers of rain on limited parts of the northern coasts.

The southeasterly winds will continue at intervals, stirring up sand in many areas, especially desert and exposed roads, which in turn will lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility at intervals, and the waves will become disturbed, making the sea rough, especially in the depths.
