Weather Agency Warns of Dust Storms and Reduced Visibility Across Egypt

Weather Agency.

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has issued a warning regarding increased wind activity across most regions of the country, with gusts expected to reach speeds between 50 and 60 kilometers per hour. This could lead to the stirring up of dust and sand in certain areas.

The agency further explained that these conditions may result in reduced horizontal visibility, particularly in some areas of northern Upper Egypt, where visibility could drop below 1,000 meters at times.

Citizens are advised to adhere to several precautionary measures, including:.

• Driving slowly and cautiously on roads during periods of low visibility.
• Avoiding standing under trees, billboards, and dilapidated buildings.
• Wearing masks for individuals with sinus issues and respiratory allergies when going outside.
• Regularly checking weather bulletins and warnings issued by the authority.

The agency emphasized the importance of exercising caution during this windy period to mitigate any adverse effects caused by the anticipated weather fluctuations.
