Cloudy Skies and Rain Expected in Parts of Egypt
Listen to the story
Egypt's meteorologists have forecast cloudy skies today, with a chance of rain in several regions across the country.
In Alexandria, a seasonal wind phenomenon known as the "Cross Winds" is currently affecting the coastal city. This wind pattern appears at a specific time of year, and many residents have asked why it carries this name and when it is expected to end.
According to the forecast, some areas will experience thunderstorms with heavy rainfall over the coming hours. This has raised questions about whether the rain will extend to Cairo, the capital.
Weather experts continue to monitor conditions closely, as rainfall and wind patterns can shift quickly during this season. Residents in affected regions are advised to stay updated through official forecasts.
The changing conditions come as part of the country's typical seasonal weather, when rain and strong winds are more common in certain coastal and northern areas. Authorities have not released specific details about rainfall amounts or exact timing for all regions.
People living in affected areas are encouraged to follow updates from local weather authorities for the latest information on rain and wind conditions.
