Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – The Egyptian Meteorological Authority announced on Monday that Storm Daniel is now heading to the Egyptian border, after it struck Libya on Sunday, and its impact is expected to reach the west of the country, including Salloum, Siwa, and Matruh. It will arrive in Alexandria on Monday evening.
The authority said in a statement published on its official Facebook page: “The country is affected by wind speeds and sand blowing over areas of Greater Cairo, the canal cities, the northern coasts, and northern Upper Egypt. Then clouds begin to enter the country, accompanied by rainfall that may be heavy and thundery in the far west of the country.”
The authority noted that “the storm lost most of its strength after making landfall in Libya, and therefore its impact will be completely different on Egyptian territory.”
In another statement, the authority said: “The various channels of satellite images indicate the shape of the storm on the Egyptian border with full details of the various cloud layers and the dust accompanying it.”
The statement added: “The storm is affecting the far west of the country, but in the form of a deep depression accompanied by wind activity stirring sand and dust over the north of the country to northern Upper Egypt. It is also accompanied by rainfall in Salloum, Matrouh, and Siwa, extending to Alexandria.”
