The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) predicts moderately hot weather during the day across most parts of the country on Tuesday, growing extremely hot in southern Upper Egypt.
The weather at night will be moderate to cold in the early morning.
As the country is currently being affected by a low-pressure system, the EMA warned that the weather will fluctuate with active winds potentially causing dust storms in certain areas.
Wind will likely be heightened due to the influence of a Khamaseen depression, causing strong winds that stir up sand and dust at speeds ranging between 40-60 km/h, with gusts that may reach 90 km/h in some areas.
This would also reduce horizontal visibility to less than one km, particularly in desert and open areas.
The authority also urged for caution while driving and wearing masks in areas exposed to dust, especially for those with respiratory allergies.
Temperatures expected for Tuesday:
- Alexandria: 24C
- Cairo: 29C
- Hurghada: 31C
- Sharm El-Sheikh: 32C
- Luxor: 37C
- Aswan: 38C
