The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has released its weather forecast for February 15, 2025, anticipating moderate weather conditions during the day across various regions, including Cairo, the Nile Delta, and northern coasts, with warmer temperatures predicted for South Sinai and southern regions. Experts warn, though, of significant drops to severe cold during the nighttime and early morning hours.
During the day, people can expect relatively comfortable conditions, particularly around urban centers. Specifically, the forecast details mild temperatures for Cairo, where the maximum is expected to reach 21 degrees Celsius, and the minimum could dip to 12 degrees Celsius.
According to the Meteorological Authority, "تظهر شبورة مائية صباحًا على بعض الطرق الزراعية والسريعة والقريبة من المسطحات المائية," highlighting the potential for morning fog on agricultural and main roads near water bodies, which could impact local travel. The forecast also indicates light to moderate sea conditions, with waves on the Mediterranean expected to range from 1 to 1.75 meters.
For coastal cities like Alexandria, daytime temperatures are forecasted to be around 20 degrees Celsius, with nighttime lows dropping to around 12 degrees, creating chilly conditions. The coastal areas are also notorious for foggy mornings, affecting visibility.
Moving southward, cities like Luxor and Assuan are set to experience warmer conditions, with highs around 25 degrees Celsius, making them significantly warmer than the northern cities. Despite the warmth during the day, nights will still present considerable temperature drops, urging residents and visitors alike to dress appropriately.
The weather patterns noted are typical for this time of year, but officials urge caution. With temperatures plummeting at night, people are reminded to wear winter clothing and prepare for dramatic drops especially during the early hours.
Rounding out the temperature predictions, other regions will see similar trends. For example, Minya and Qena could have maximum temperatures of around 22 degrees Celsius during the day but face much colder nighttime conditions with lows approaching 8 degrees Celsius.
“حالة البحر المتوسط خفيفة إلى معتدلة,” the Meteorological Authority notes, indicating manageable conditions for maritime activities, though they encourage awareness of changing weather patterns.
Given the forecast, families with children are also advised on practical tips to cope with the cold. Suggestions include keeping children dressed warmly, ensuring adequate hydration, and encouraging the consumption of fruits rich in Vitamin C to help fend off cold-related illnesses.
Local health experts stress the importance of monitoring children during this transitional weather period, as fluctuations can lead to increased incidences of respiratory illnesses. Vaccination for seasonal flu is advised to bolster children’s defenses against common seasonal maladies.
Ending this detailed weather overview, the Egyptian Meteorological Authority urges citizens to stay informed and updated on weather changes as they approach February 15, as these announcements not only help residents plan their day-to-day activities but also promote safety during the colder months.
With these weather forecasts, the Egyptian public is left with ample information to prepare for the changeable conditions expected on February 15. Remember, whether you're spending the day out or planning family activities, layering up and staying warm during the tomorrow's chilly night is key!
