The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) expects temperatures to continue rising until the end of this week.
The country is experiencing a new heat wave, with temperatures peaking from Tuesday until Thursday.
Temperatures in Cairo are expected to range between 37C and 38C.
The EMA warned that high humidity levels will contribute to a two-degree increase in perceived temperature, making it feel closer to 40C, especially during peak hours.
The weather will be very hot and humid during the day across most of the country, and hot and humid along the northern coast.
At night, the weather will be slightly hot and humid across most of the country.
High humidity levels are expected overnight, reaching approximately 80 to 85 percent in Cairo and the Lower Egypt, and 90 to 95 percent along the northern coast, exacerbating the perceived temperature.
Humidity levels will decrease relatively during the daytime.
The EMA advised citizens to follow daily weather updates and take necessary precautions to deal the weather, especially while driving during fog.
