A key city along the Nile is Egyptâs capital, Cairo. The climate and weather in Cairo is hot and dry. Temperatures in Cairo in winter average around a low of 15Â°C (59Â°F), but in summer the average high temperature hovers just below 30Â°C (86Â°F).hile winter temperatures in Alexandria average 15Â°C (59Â°F). With cool onshore breezes, the weather in Egyptâs coastal areas is particularly pleasant. However, unpleasant desert winds are common during March and April.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is deciduous, meaning most trees shed their leaves as the weather turns colder. As this happens, the mountains come to life with amazing color! The reds, yellows, oranges, etc look as if buckets of paint fell from the sky onto the mountains. Itâs incredible!
After many years of missing the bloom at Roan Highlands, I finally saw the mountaintop in full bloom on June 26, 2001. These are just a few images I took of the purple Catawba Rhododendrons (R. catawbiense) and the beautiful yellow and orange Flame Azaleas (R. calendulaceum) that day. I parked my car at Carvers Gap expecting to take a short hike for about an hour, but stayed out there for six hours instead, hiking past Engine Gap and Jane Bald all the way to Grassy Ridge.
