Very warm weather is forecast for the north coast, with temperatures reaching 32 degrees centigrade in Alexandria, while very hot weather is expected for the rest of the country. The heat will ease off through the night heading into Monday.

The prevailing wind will be northwesterly, and will be felt most strongly in the northern regions of Upper Egypt, Sinai, on the Red Sea and the Suez Gulf.
The Mediterranean will see waves of up to two meters high, and the Red Sea; waves of up to 2.5 meters.
