Egypt’s Meteorological Authority forecasts autumn weather from October 9 through October 14, 2026, bringing morning fog, scattered rainfall, and temperatures reaching up to 41°C in southern Upper Egypt.
Autumn conditions have firmly settled across Egypt, bringing a noticeable split between daytime warmth and brisk morning air. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority expects these transitional patterns to hold steady through Wednesday, October 14, 2026, affecting regions from the Mediterranean coast down to the southern reaches of Upper Egypt.
Northern Regions Stay Warm While Upper Egypt Faces Heat
Daytime highs vary widely depending on the region. Northern areas and Greater Cairo experience warm to hot weather during the day, while southern Upper Egypt faces intense heat with highs peaking at 41°C. Nighttime brings a shift toward cool and chilly conditions, particularly in the early morning hours.
Daytime highs in the capital hover around 30°C to 31°C with overnight lows dipping to 19°C or 20°C. Along the northern coast, temperatures range between 26°C and 28°C for the high and 18°C to 20°C for the low.
Forecasters Anticipate Light to Moderate Rainfall Across Several Regions
Forecasters anticipate light to moderate rainfall across several parts of the country. Western Mediterranean coastal areas and northern Lower Egypt face a 30% chance of intermittent showers. Similar chances for light to moderate and occasionally thundery rain apply to central and southern Upper Egypt, the Red Sea governorate, and central and southern Sinai.
Authorities note a very low 10% probability of light rain reaching the eastern coast, southern Lower Egypt, the Canal cities, and parts of Greater Cairo. Meteorological officials warn that thunderstorm clouds can generate strong downdrafts, creating dusty winds and reducing visibility in exposed areas.
Early Morning Fog Affects Drivers and Maritime Conditions Vary
Drivers commuting early in the day face water fog forming between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM.
Winds are expected to pick up across most regions between Saturday, October 10, and Wednesday, October 14, providing a cooling effect in shaded spots and during the night. Officials advise residents to stay updated through daily weather bulletins and take necessary precautions regarding the sudden temperature drops between daytime and nighttime hours.
Maritime conditions vary across bodies of water. The Mediterranean Sea remains moderate with wave heights between 1.5 and 2 meters. Meanwhile, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez experience moderate to rough conditions, with waves reaching up to 3 meters alongside active northerly to northeasterly winds.
