Travel and daily-life tips
- In summer (June–September) Upper Egypt often passes 40°C by day; plan outdoor work and visits early in the morning and carry water and sun protection.
- Spring brings dust storms (the khamsin wind); take care on the road when visibility drops, and people with breathing problems may wear a mask.
- In winter the north coast (Alexandria, Matrouh, North Sinai) gets rain and sometimes strong wind; follow the forecast before coastal roads or sea trips.
- Official warnings come from the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA).
