Wahid Seoudy, spokesperson for the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, said the weather will be very cold until Saturday. Temperatures will drop below 10C throughout Cairo over the next few days and will be only slightly higher in Alexandria.
Expected temperature in Cairo on Friday is a high of 13C with a low of 6C, Alexandria 14C/7C and St. Catherine 4C/0C.
Moderate rain in Cairo and the Delta will get heavier on Friday and may cause floods in northern and central Sinai.
Seoudy mentioned that there will be no sand storms, but winds will disrupt navigation in the Mediterranean and Red seas.
Meanwhile, the Alexandria and Dekheila ports were closed on Thursday due to bad weather, increasing wind speed and high waves.
Waves in the Mediterranean will range from 5-6 meters, 4 -5 meters in the Red Sea, with north-westerly surface winds.
