My connection with Egypt dates back to the early 1980s, when I worked in the raw cotton import business. Though I have long since moved on, the memory of Egyptian cotton — especially the exceptional Giza variety — remains vivid. Often referred to as the “King of Egyptian Cotton,” Giza is grown in a narrow region between the Mediterranean and the Nile, where ideal climate and soil conditions yield the world’s finest cotton. Its ultra-fine yarn, used in premium shirting, is a tactile expression of Egypt’s material excellence. Yet beyond cotton, Egypt’s greater contribution lies in the civilizational legacy it has bequeathed to the world. This enduring fascination with Egypt recently led me to attend a lecture by professor Khaled El-Enany, a former minister of tourism and antiquities of Egypt and candidate for the post of UNESCO director-general. The event, held at Fila Hall at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, was hosted by Egyptian Ambassador to Seoul Khaled Abdel Rahman and his

arXiv:2506.02349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, gradient boosting is used to forecast the Q(.95) values of air temperature and the Steadman Heat Index. Paris, France during late the spring and summer months is the major focus. Predictors and responses are drawn from the Paris-Montsouris weather station for the years 2018 through 2024. Q(.95) values are used because of interest in summer heat that is statistically rare and extreme. The data are curated as a multiple time series for each year. Predictors include seven routinely collected indicators of weather conditions. They each are lagged by 14 days such that temperature and heat index forecasts are provided two weeks in advance. Forecasting uncertainty is addressed with conformal prediction regions. Forecasting accuracy is promising. Cairo, Egypt is a second location using data from the weather station at the Cairo Internal Airport over the same years and months. Cairo is a more challenging setting for temperature
