Egypt’s Ministry of Local Development and Environment said on Wednesday that governorates nationwide had raised maximum alert levels to respond to unstable weather conditions and varying rainfall intensity. The ministry said the ports of Burullus Port and Hurghada Port were temporarily closed due to adverse weather conditions, with operations set to resume once conditions improve. Several governorates experienced rainfall ranging from light to heavy, while weather conditions stabilised in others. Authorities continue to carry out water drainage operations in coordination with water and sanitation companies and other relevant agencies. The ministry urged citizens to exercise caution during rainfall, avoid standing under trees or near electricity poles or surface runoff, and limit movement on roads while driving carefully.
