Egypt is expected to witness hot and dusty weather conditions across much of the country on Sunday, 17 May 2026, with temperatures in Cairo forecast to reach 41&deg;C, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA).
The authority said daytime conditions will be very hot nationwide, while temperatures at night are expected to remain moderate to warm.
Strong winds, ranging between 35 and 45km/h, are also forecast to affect several regions, including the Western Desert, the northern coast, the Nile Delta, Greater Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, Sinai, Upper Egypt, Lower Egypt, and parts of the Red Sea governorate.
The EMA warned that the active winds could stir up sand and dust, reducing horizontal visibility to below 1,000 metres in some areas.
Meteorologists also indicated there is a slight possibility of low clouds forming over scattered parts of northern Egypt, Greater Cairo and the Suez Canal region. Light drizzle may occur in limited areas, although it is not expected to significantly affect daily activities.
Authorities advised residents to drink plenty of water and fluids throughout the day to avoid dehydration, particularly during peak afternoon temperatures.
People were also urged to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and to wear loose, light-coloured cotton clothing suitable for the hot weather.
The EMA further cautioned motorists about reduced visibility caused by dust and sand in exposed areas during periods of strong wind activity.
