Cairo and Delta Temperatures Alongside Expected Coastal Showers
Daytime conditions across Greater Cairo and the Lower Egypt region will remain hot, with Cairo registering a high of 31°C and a low of 21°C. The New Administrative Capital and 6 of October City both record highs of 32°C with lows of 20°C. Meanwhile, northern coastal areas experience milder daytime readings, with Alexandria peaking at 28°C and Matrouh and Alamein sitting at 27°C.
Precipitation chances accompany the seasonal shift. Forecasters indicate a 20% probability of light to occasionally moderate rain across scattered areas of the northern coast, northern Lower Egypt, and parts of the Western Desert. Lighter, less frequent showers may reach southern parts of the Delta, Greater Cairo, central Sinai, Halayeb, Shalateen, and far southern Upper Egypt.
Morning Fog Warnings and Wind Speeds Across Egyptian Governorates
Drivers commuting early face reduced visibility as water mist develops between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM. This morning fog blankets roadways stretching from northern regions down to Greater Cairo, the Canal cities, northern Upper Egypt, and central Sinai.
Wind activity provides some relief from the heat. Sustained winds moving between 30 and 40 kilometers per hour will sweep across most parts of the country, helping to cool shaded spots and moderate evening temperatures.
Intense Heat Grips Southern Upper Egypt and Red Sea Resorts
While northern regions enjoy autumn breezes, southern Upper Egypt endures severe heat. Daytime temperatures reach 36°C in Sohag, climb to 38°C in Qena, and peak at 40°C in Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel.
Resort destinations along the Red Sea and South Sinai maintain warm profiles. Sharm El Sheikh registers a high of 35°C and a low of 25°C, while Hurghada, Safaga, Marsa Alam, and Shalateen hover between 34°C and 35°C during the day.
Official Advisories and Preparations for Changing Conditions
The Meteorological Authority has urged citizens and relevant regional agencies to take necessary precautions and preparations regarding the fluctuating weather patterns, advising motorists to monitor visibility updates during early morning fog hours.
