The city of Alexandria is experiencing a cooler day with temperatures expected to drop further, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority. The region is witnessing a typical autumnal climate, with scattered clouds and a chance of rain showers throughout the day. The cooler temperatures are a result of a low-pressure system moving over the eastern Mediterranean.

The Meteorological Authority has forecast that Alexandria will see a high of 28°C and a low of 22°C. The coastal city is one of several areas affected by the low-pressure system, which is bringing rain showers to the northern coastal regions. Other areas, including Matruh and the northwestern coast, are expected to experience more intense rain showers.

Satellite imagery shows that the northern coastal regions, including Alexandria, are experiencing an increase in cloud cover. This is expected to lead to a reduction in sunshine and a decrease in the perceived temperature throughout the day. The rain showers are expected to be scattered and of varying intensity.

The rain showers are expected to affect several coastal cities, including Alexandria, Matruh, and Mersa Alam. The Meteorological Authority has warned that the rain showers may be heavy in some areas, leading to potential disruptions. Residents and visitors are advised to carry umbrellas and take necessary precautions.

In addition to Alexandria, other cities along the Mediterranean coast are experiencing cooler temperatures. These include El Alamein, with a high of 27°C and a low of 21°C, and Matruh, with a high of 27°C and a low of 21°C. The cooler temperatures are expected to persist throughout the week.

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has also provided temperature forecasts for other cities across the country. These include Cairo, which is expected to experience a high of 32°C and a low of 20°C, and Port Said, with a high of 30°C and a low of 24°C. The authority has warned that temperatures may fluctuate throughout the week.

The cooler temperatures and rain showers are a welcome relief for residents and visitors in Alexandria and other coastal cities. The region is expected to experience a typical autumnal climate, with temperatures gradually dropping as the season progresses. The Meteorological Authority will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates as necessary.
