Maritime navigation is expected to be disrupted along parts of the Red Sea coast and the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, where wind speeds are forecast to range between 40 and 60 km/h, with wave heights of 2.5 to 3 meters.

There is also a slight chance of low clouds forming over scattered areas of the northern coast, the Nile Delta, Greater Cairo, and the Suez Canal cities. These clouds may produce light, intermittent drizzle in isolated areas.
