Navigating Egypt’s fluctuating weather: An Interview with Dr. Fatima Khalil, Senior Meteorologist at the General authority of Meteorology
Introduction:
As we step into January 21, 2025, Egypt is experiencing a mix of warm, sunny days and chilly, sometimes severely cold, nights. To help our readers better understand and prepare for these weather fluctuations, we’ve invited Dr. Fatima Khalil, an expert meteorologist and senior editor at world-today-news.com, to share insights into Egypt’s recent weather trends and forecasts.
1. Understanding the Weather Mix
- Warm Days
Senior Editor (SE): Dr. Khalil,can you explain why,despite the perceived overall cold,we’re experiencing such warm days in certain regions of Egypt?
Dr. Fatima Khalil (FK): Absolutely. The dividing line between warm and cold days typically lies around 20°C.The southern regions and parts of the North are experiencing temperatures above this threshold due to heat waves and dry air masses moving in from the southwestern deserts.
- Chilly Nights
SE: That leads us to the contrastingly cold nights. How do these temperature drops happen so sharply?
FK: Overnight, the land cools faster than water. This creates a temperature inversion, where skies overhead are warmer, and the surface is cooler. coupled with clear skies, this inversion traps cold air close to the ground, leading to rapid temperature drops at night.
2. Regional Variations
- northern Coasts and Lower Egypt
SE: Why are coastal regions like the North Coast and Alexandria seeing moderate temperatures while other northern areas are warmer?
FK: The moderating influence of the Mediterranean Sea keeps these coastal regions cooler. While it might feel warm during the day, the sea breeze helps maintain relatively lower temperatures compared to inland areas.
- South Sinai and the South
SE: We’re hearing reports of very cold temperatures in the South, including potential frost in Central Sinai. how significant is this?
FK: Indeed, the highlands and southern regions are experiencing very cold nights, with temperatures dropping as low as -2°C in some areas. Central Sinai’s low elevation and cold air drainage lead to the formation of frost, posing risks to crops and agriculture.
3. Fog and Visibility Concerns
- Dense Fog
SE: The forecast warns of dense fog, particularly in the early mornings. What’s the cause, and why should residents be cautious?
FK: Dense fog occurs when moist warm air meets a cooler surface, forming water vapor drop-outs that scatter and reflect light, reducing visibility. Early morning is the most susceptible time due to nocturnal cooling. Residents should exercise caution while driving, keeping headlights on low beam, and reducing speed significantly.
4. Weather Monitoring and Updates
SE: How does the General Authority of Meteorology ensure accurate forecasting and public safety?
FK: We use a combination of observational data from our extensive network of weather stations, numerical models, and satellite imagery to create accurate forecasts. We continuously monitor weather patterns and provide timely updates through our official website,social media channels,and local news outlets to keep the public informed and safe.
