Weather In Egypt (Daily Resolution)
Monitoring Weather and Climate Conditions

About this dataset
This dataset contains five years' worth of records of precipitation indicators for base stations across Egypt. Carefully crafted by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) - part of the United States government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), these data are the gateway to understanding weather and climate conditions across the country. The four indicators included in this data set are: Total Precipitation (TPCP); Maximum Snow Depth (MXSD); Total Snow Fall (TSNW); and Extreme Maximum Daily Precipitation (EMXP). But, be aware that due to late-arriving data, recent record numbers may be underreported, though regardless, this dataset is both extensive and authoritative, outlining what a final outcome could be. With its history stretching back five years in time and its future yet unwritten - dare to explore how these changes will alter our near world with accessibility now at your fingertips! Unrestricted by copyright you are free to examine an array of information that can lead you down predictive paths for weather or provide invaluable insights into key issues affecting the climate across Egypt today

Research Ideas
- Predicting expected rainfall in certain areas of Egypt: Using the historic data provided in this dataset, it could be used to determine a model that accurately predicts future rainfall in certain parts of the country. This would be useful information to have for local farmers, who need to know when is the optimal time to plant/harvest crops.
- Analyzing extreme weather patterns: By using the data provided, we can gain insight into uncommon and extreme weather patterns across Egypt. We can measure how often large storms, droughts or other extreme weather phenomena occur throughout the year based on past records and use this information to better inform decisions about infrastructure development- such as where bridges should be located or where water storage facilities should be built.
- Tracking global warming trends: As climate change continues to affect our environment and temperatures are predicted to rise more each year, tracking shifts in temperature over time can provide valuable insights on global warming trends across Egypt. This dataset could prove especially useful for making predictions on when certain areas will experience more severe temperatures with greater frequency
