Tomorrow’s weather will be humid and warm in the early morning, turning into extreme heat during the day for most regions. Here is the expected high and the “feels like” temperature (perceived temperature) for key areas:

Weather Alerts: Fog and Wind
Beyond the heat, there are a few atmospheric conditions that could impact your morning commute or outdoor plans:
1. Morning Fog
Between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM, expect water fog in several regions, including Northern Egypt, Greater Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, Central Sinai, and North Upper Egypt. Drive carefully during these hours.
2. Wind Activity
Intermittent wind activity is expected across most regions, with speeds ranging from 30 to 36 km/h. This may provide some slight relief but could also stir up dust in open areas.
Maritime Warning: Rough Seas
For those heading to the coast or working in shipping, please be advised that maritime navigation will be unstable in some areas of the Suez and Aqaba Gulfs. Wind speeds in these areas could reach 50 to 60 km/h, with wave heights peaking between 2.5 and 3.5 metres. We recommend checking official World Meteorological Organization guidelines for maritime safety.
Detailed City-by-City Forecast
To give you a clearer picture, here are the specific temperature ranges (Low/High) for various cities:

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and keep an eye on the sky!
