Meteorologists predict cold weather on Monday across Egypt during daylight hours, milder on southern Upper Egypt and growing colder at night throughout the country. Temperatures predicted for the following cities are 18C in Alexandria and Cairo, 20C in Qena and 21C in Luxor, and Aswan. Winds will be mostly southwestern and moderate, active on the northwestern coasts and Mediterranean Sea, disrupting maritime navigation there. Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) Head Ahmed Abd al-Aal said last night that Egypt has officially entered winter about 10 days ago, and that cold weather these days is normal. “We are witnessing a very cold weather at night from 5 pm until 8 am the next morning,” he said, urging citizens to wear heavy clothes.
