The Egyptian Meteorological Authority announced the weather forecast from Sunday until Friday, with satellite maps indicating that the country will continue to suffer severe dust storms, due to a Khamaseen depression affecting the country accompanied by winds blowing up dust.
An EMA statement said that the weather on Saturday witnessed a decrease in temperatures after a heat wave in the past hours.
It expected that the country will witness moderate temperatures north of Egypt and Greater Cairo, and temperatures will be between 34C-35C, but a heat wave will continue to dominate the southern part of the country.
Meteorologists advised not to be exposed to direct sunlight, drink plenty of cool fluids and water, wear loose and cotton clothes, and sit in well-ventilated places.
