East of the Nile valley lies the Arabian Desert, and to the west lies the Libyan Desert. Egypt is hot and dry for most of the year, except for the winter months in December, January and February. Since Egypt falls within the North African desert belt it has low annual rainfall with occasional dust storms. Temperatures increase as one travels towards the south from Alexandria. Temperatures can be as high as 45 o C in summer and as low as 8 o C in winter.
Humidity diminishes as one moves from north to south.
The northern Mediterranean region has the highest humidity levels. All rights reserved. This content may only be stored for personal and non-commercial purposes.
