Egypt's weather authority says Sunday rain could reach the Red Sea Governorate

Egypt's Meteorological Authority says light rain forecast for Sunday could extend as far as the Red Sea Governorate, in a bulletin predicting a marked drop in temperatures across the country.

The authority puts the chance of light to moderate, intermittent rain at 30 percent along the northern coast and in northern Lower Egypt, and the chance of light rain at 20 percent in parts of southern Lower Egypt, the Suez Canal cities and the Gulf of Suez — a probability it says may extend to Greater Cairo and the Red Sea Governorate. Temperatures are expected to keep sliding until Thursday 12 November, with mist and a chance of rain in various areas.

Two of the bulletin's warnings do not cover this coast. The dense mist expected between 4am and 9am affects roads in the north of the country, the Suez Canal cities, central Sinai and northern Upper Egypt, and the disrupted maritime navigation, with winds of 40 to 50 kilometres an hour and waves of two to three metres, is on the Mediterranean. The authority advises relatively warm clothing late at night and early in the morning, and caution when driving in mist.
