Egypt / Climate
Egyptian summers
are hot and dry in most of the country and humid in the Delta
and along the Mediterranean Coast. In recent years the humidity
has spread to Cairo and the city swelters in August. Winters are
mild with some rain, but usually there are bright, sunny days
and cold nights.
There is
a short spring and autumn and during the 50 days (khamseen) between
the end of March and mid-May, dust storms can occur sporadically.
Even though yohimbe is a west African tree, attempts have
been made to plant it in Southern Egypt for parmaceutical
purposes.
