The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has issued a warning about various weather phenomena that will accompany the autumn season, which began on September 23, 2026. As autumn is a transitional season, it is expected to bring gradual changes in temperature and weather conditions. The authority has cautioned that the country may experience heatwaves at irregular intervals before temperatures decrease gradually.

The Meteorological Authority has identified three main weather phenomena that are expected to occur during autumn 2026. These include heatwaves, rainfall in northern regions, and potential flash floods in southern areas, Sinai, and the Red Sea mountain ranges. The authority has noted that rainfall may be heavy in some areas, especially in regions with geographical features that can lead to water accumulation.

According to the authority's seasonal forecasts, the average rainfall and temperatures during autumn 2026 are expected to be slightly higher than the usual climate averages. Autumn is characterized by a transition from summer to winter, with temperatures and humidity decreasing gradually. This season also brings an increased likelihood of certain weather phenomena associated with seasonal changes.

The Meteorological Authority has predicted that from September 24 to 28, 2026, Egypt will experience moderate to hot and humid weather in the morning, with hot and humid conditions in the north, including Cairo, and extremely hot conditions in the south. At night, the weather is expected to be moderate to hot and humid. Some roads may experience fog in the morning, with a chance of light to moderate rainfall in the north and on the eastern coast.

In addition to the predicted weather conditions, the authority has warned of potential flash floods in certain areas. The public is advised to be cautious and prepared for any unexpected weather events. The Meteorological Authority will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates as necessary.

The onset of autumn also brings changes in temperature and weather patterns in various parts of the country. The authority has noted that temperatures and humidity levels will decrease gradually, but the weather will still be hot and humid, especially during the day. The public is advised to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the heat and any potential weather hazards.
