Despite its dry environment but due to its very varied nature between desert, fertile valley (the valley of the Nile River and its delta) 2 seas which are the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and mountains, the climate of Egypt changes from one area to the other.
But it is united in that the country does not receive much rain in much of its territory except in the north in the winter months between November to March, Egypt rarely receives snow and it is usually in the east both in Sinai and the cities of the delta that is usually quite humid.
The summer months in Egypt are from April to October while the winter months are usually from November to March.
Due to climate change, Egypt was also one of the countries suffering from climate change that was on the one hand positive and on the other negative, formerly the summer of the Pharaonic country was quite hot that reached 50 degrees both in the south and in the desert territory, today Egypt has been 2 years with a summer much lighter with about 40 degrees or 39 in the hottest months (July and August) and the winter of this country dawned much longer and colder than before,the north of this country in the coldest months of winter was 8 or 7 degrees while the south was about 15 degrees or 12 at some times of the day, but on the other hand the country does not yet have sufficient infrastructure to receive rain in the north and is an additional charge to the regime now established.

The pound continued to bleed because of the political situation after 2 revolutions known as the first Arab war, and the regime established in Egypt faced the strongest economic crisis in the history of the millenary country, it was forced to devalue the currency, since then the pound began to lose much value against the dollar that reached 15.5 Egyptian pounds, and against the euro that reached 19 Egyptian pounds.
Today, despite the economic situation, Egypt’s economy is considered one of the best growing economies in the world, but the country still has many obstacles and problems to solve.
