The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has issued a warning about the expected severe hot weather conditions across the country, with temperatures soaring to 44 degrees Celsius in the southern regions.
Cairo is expected to reach 38 degrees Celsius during the day, making August and September feel like one prolonged hot period.
The authority attributed the intense heat to a low-pressure system bringing strong, hot southern winds to most parts of the country.
Citizens have been advised to exercise caution during daylight hours and avoid direct sun exposure.
The weather forecast for Friday predicts extreme heat during the day and slightly humid conditions at night across the country.
Weather maps indicate the possibility of rainfall in Kafr El Sheikh, Port Said, Damietta, Alexandria, Beheira, and Kafr El Sheikh governorates. Satellite imagery has detected moderate wind activity across most areas during nighttime hours.
