The Meteorological Authority predicted a significant rise in temperatures on Friday, with moderately hot weather in the north, very hot in Cairo and the rest of country during the day, and nice at night.
Visibility will be low in the morning due to fog and wind will mostly be northwesterly mild to moderate.
Waves in the Mediterranean the Red Sea will be one to two meters high.
Due to the heat, consumers tend to use air conditioning more, causing a heavier burden on the power infrastructure.
The Electricity Regulatory Authority said it eased power loads early on Thursday due to an increased consumption and appealed to citizens to conserve as much energy as possible.
This includes conserving use on washing machines, vacuum cleaners, irons, water boilers, electric furnaces, electric water heaters and especially air conditioners in order to avoid continuing power cuts during peak usage hours.
