The Washington Post published a report on the weather conditions in the Eastern Mediterranean, citing NASA, the emergence of images of giant cloud blocks approaching the atmosphere of Egypt, amid warnings of heavy rain and thunder, on Friday and Saturday.
The Washington Post said NASA imagery suggested a tropical cyclone was "not returning" in some areas of Egypt and Israel, foreshadowing storms and heavy rains in some coastal areas of Egypt.
The newspaper pointed to the monitoring of the formation of "a rare tropical cyclone" in the eastern Mediterranean.
The outlook reinforces concerns about coastal flooding and heavy rains in Egypt's far east, which could also reach parts of Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jordan, she said.
"The most significant effects are likely to happen tomorrow morning to midday local time."
On the other hand, the observer at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, Sameh Mostafa, denied what was reported in newspapers and some social media pioneers about the existence of a cyclone on the coasts of the Mediterranean and the North Delta at a depth of 100 kilometers.
Mustafa said in press statements: Can not occur the phenomenon of hurricanes in Egypt, as some claim the conditions of its formation and occurrence in Egypt does not exist.
Mustafa pointed out that the statement of the Meteorological Authority talked about an air depression with subtropical characteristics accompanied by heavy thunderstorms east of the Mediterranean Sea and northern coasts of Egypt.
This comes at a time when the Egyptian cabinet appealed to citizens to stay in their homes as much as possible, after monitoring low and medium clouds.
A statement issued by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, said that "appeals to citizens to abide by houses on Friday, except in cases of extreme necessity, for the people of the provinces of the northern coasts and delta and the cities of the canal and north and central Sinai, Heavy rain expected Friday. "
He continued: "The reports of the Meteorological Authority confirmed the continued instability in the weather until Saturday."
