Recent changes in continentality over Egypt from 1981 to 2018 This study assessed changes in continentality conditions over Egypt, explaining the physical configurations responsible for these changes. This study employed monthly air temperature data from 26 meteorological stations spanning the period from 1981 to 2018. Continentality was characterized using Poresof index. Changes in continentality were assessed using the ordinary least squares regression method. Results suggest an overall increase in continentality in the study domain, with more enhanced trends in southeastern, central and southern Egypt. Also, results indicate five cycles, with consecutive upward and downward evolution of continentality. Assessing changes in continentality is important to improve current understanding of regional climate variability in Egypt, with possible implications for different disciplines, including agriculture, water resources, tourism, besides environmental assessment and management (e.g. drought, desertification, and environmental sensitivity).
