As Egypt enters the second week of autumn, the country is witnessing a notable decrease in temperatures, accompanied by a clear change in weather conditions. The autumnal weather is dominating various parts of the country, bringing moderate temperatures. According to Dr. Manar Ghoneim, a meteorologist at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, temperatures are expected to drop gradually as the country progresses through the autumn season.
Dr. Ghoneim stated that the weather during the early morning hours is expected to be moderate, while temperatures are likely to rise during the day in some areas. The weather is expected to be warm on the northern coast, hot in Cairo, the Nile Valley, and northern Upper Egypt, and extremely hot in southern Upper Egypt. As night falls, the weather is expected to return to moderate in most parts of the country.
The meteorologist also noted that various parts of the country are experiencing an increase in high and medium-level clouds, which are blocking some of the sun's rays, contributing to the feeling of cooler temperatures during the day.
