The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) warned of hot humid weather this week across Egypt.
Hot weather is predicted north of the country with very hot weather in the governorates of southern Upper Egypt, due to the expansion of the seasonal India low on the Arabian Peninsula all the way to Egypt, accompanied by a rise in temperatures and high surface humidity.

The EMA expected high humidity levels, increasing the feeling of hot weather.
