Severe Weather Warning Issued for Northern Egypt as Storm System Intensifies
A weather warning has been issued for the northeastern and northern Lower Egypt coasts, with satellite imagery revealing the continued presence of rainy thunderclouds. Authorities are urging residents in affected governorates – including Al-Arish, North Sinai, Port Said, Damietta, Dakahlia, Kafr El-Sheikh, and Beheira – to prepare for moderate to heavy rainfall, potentially accompanied by hailstones.
According to the General Authority of Meteorology, the current weather instability is impacting the entire country, bringing varying intensities of rain and thunderstorms. Satellite images also indicate the development of low and medium clouds over central and southern Lower Egypt, which may produce scattered showers, though these are expected to be less severe than those in the north. Residents of Alexandria and Matrouh governorates are advised to exercise caution due to the risk of lightning and thunder strikes, even as the intensity of thunderstorms is predicted to be lower in those areas.
