Arab Weather - Arab Weather specialists confirmed that the latest updates from computer simulations indicate that the Arab Republic of Egypt will continue to be affected by a cold air mass at the end of this week on Wednesday/Thursday night and Thursday day, as temperatures will remain cooler than their averages for this time of year, with the continued blowing of northwesterly winds that in turn lead to stirring up sand and increasing the feeling of coldness significantly, especially during the evening and night hours.

A low pressure system centered in southern Türkiye brings active southwesterly winds tonight

A low pressure system is centered south of Turkey tonight, causing active northwesterly winds with strong gusts that will stir up sand in many areas, including Greater Cairo, and will reduce horizontal visibility, especially on desert roads and exposed areas. Waves will also be disturbed on the northern beaches due to the active winds.

During the night hours, the weather will be cold to very cold in all areas, especially over the mountainous heights of the Sinai Peninsula and desert areas. Minimum temperatures range from 8-9 degrees Celsius in various parts of Greater Cairo. It is recommended to wear warm clothes, with a focus on children's and elderly clothing, especially during the night and early morning hours.

Slight rise in temperatures on Thursday

Temperatures rise slightly and become close to their average for this time of year. The weather is relatively cold in the northern regions, and tends to be cold in the rest of the regions except for the far south of Upper Egypt. The maximum temperature will be around 19 degrees Celsius in the capital, Cairo, while it will be higher than that in the far southern regions and the north of Lower Egypt during the afternoon and evening hours, with the appearance of clouds at different heights that may be accompanied by local showers of rain on limited parts of the northern coasts.

The winds will be northwesterly, moderate in speed, and sometimes active on the western coasts, South Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt.

And God knows best.
