Sandstorm Season Is Back: Get Ready for a Windy Midweek in Egypt! 

If you’ve got outdoor plans this Wednesday, it might be time to rethink them — the weather’s about to get wild. 🌬️

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has issued a heads-up for the next 48 hours: expect strong winds loaded with dust and sand, potentially turning into full-on sandstorms in some areas. Yes, it’s officially “hold onto your hat” weather.

Blame it on a khamaseen depression blowing in from the Sahara, kicking up winds at speeds between 65 to 90 km/h — enough to cause serious chaos, especially along the Mediterranean coast, where maritime activities may face disruption. And as if that’s not enough drama, some parts of the north may even get a splash of thunder and rain.

So if you’re hitting the roads, wear a mask, keep the windows rolled up, and maybe skip the hair styling altogether. For those with respiratory issues — take extra care. This dusty diva of a storm doesn’t play.

Stay safe, stay indoors (if you can), and maybe keep your weather app close — it’s going to be a bumpy ride midweek! 🌪️🧣📱
