Egypt experiences stable autumn weather on Thursday, October 8, 2026, featuring daytime warmth across the capital, morning mist on agricultural routes, and scattered light showers along northern coasts alongside maritime warnings for the Gulf of Suez.
Autumn conditions remain firmly in place across Egypt, bringing daytime temperatures close to seasonal norms and setting off a routine mix of early morning mist, coastal dampness, and moderate breezes according to the official meteorological forecasting. Sunshine dominates the daylight hours, particularly around noon, keeping the atmosphere stable while nighttime hours introduce a noticeable crispness, especially in newly developed residential areas and during the predawn push as reported by state weather services.
Temperature Ranges and Regional Variations Across the Country
Daytime temperatures vary significantly from the Mediterranean shores down to the southern border. Greater Cairo and Lower Egypt record maximum daytime readings hovering between 28 and 31 degrees Celsius, with nighttime lows dropping back to 18 and 20 degrees Celsius based on forecasts issued by the Egyptian Meteorological Authority.
Along the northern coast, towns like Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh experience milder conditions, with daytime highs running from 26 to 28 degrees Celsius and overnight lows resting around 17 to 20 degrees Celsius according to regional climate tables. Meanwhile, Upper Egypt remains the country’s thermal furnace. Northern Upper Egypt cities such as Beni Suef and Fayoum top out near 31 degrees Celsius, while southern hubs like Aswan and Abu Simbel peak between 37 and 38 degrees Celsius under intense afternoon sun data compiled from national weather bulletins shows.
Morning Mist and Coastal Precipitation Risks
Visibility drops early in the day as a layer of water vapor settles over agricultural routes, desert highways, and areas near water channels from northern districts down to Greater Cairo, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt the weather authority noted in its daily briefing.
Precipitation chances remain localized and modest. Forecasters predict light to occasionally moderate rain showers, carrying a 30% probability of occurrence, across parts of the northern coastline and northern Lower Egypt meteorologists explained. A much lower 10% chance extends a slight misting toward Halaib, Shalateen, and parts of southern Lower Egypt, with occasional stray drops potentially reaching Greater Cairo according to satellite tracking updates.
The chances of rain remain in place tomorrow, though they will be overall light and may occasionally be moderate with a probability reaching 30% on areas of the northern coasts and northern Lower Egypt governorates. Manar
Wind Activity and Maritime Conditions in the Red Sea and Suez Gulf
Breezes pick up during the evening and nighttime hours across most provinces, blowing at speeds between 30 and 40 kilometers per hour the agency’s wind charts show. These winds provide natural cooling in shaded spots and after sunset, though they can stir up dust and sand locally around Halaib and Shalateen forecasters added.
While the Mediterranean remains calm and suitable for navigation and fishing through the upcoming weekend break, maritime authorities issued specific warnings for the Gulf of Suez marine advisories confirmed. Wave heights in the Gulf of Suez range from two to three meters, creating choppy waters that require caution from marine operators port officials stated.
