The day will start warm and humid, turning hot and humid along the northern coasts and very hot and humid across the rest of the country during daytime hours. Warm, humid conditions will persist overnight.

Low clouds may form over scattered areas along the northwestern coast and the northern Nile Delta. High humidity brings a slight chance (around 20%) of light rain in isolated spots.

Morning fog is expected between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM across northern Egypt, extending to Greater Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt. Fog may be dense at times on major roadways.

Intermittent active winds will bring partial relief from the heat in exposed areas. However, active winds along coastal areas (Marsa Matrouh, El Alamein, Alexandria, Baltim, and Gamasa) will generate wave heights of 1.5 to 2 meters.

Rough seas and disrupted maritime navigation are expected along parts of the Red Sea coast and the Gulf of Suez, with wind speeds reaching 40–60 km/h and waves reaching 2 to 3 meters.
