The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has announced that today's weather will be hot and humid during the day in the northern regions, including Cairo, and extremely hot in the southern regions. At night, temperatures will be moderate and humid across most areas. This marks the second week of autumn, and residents are advised to prepare for changing weather conditions.
Temperatures are expected to vary significantly across different governorates. Cairo and the Nile Valley will experience highs of 32 degrees Celsius, while the coastal regions will reach 31 degrees. In the northern regions of Upper Egypt, temperatures will soar to 35 degrees, and in the southern regions, they will reach as high as 41 degrees Celsius. These changing conditions may bring relief from the summer heat but also pose challenges for residents.
In addition to the temperature fluctuations, residents can expect foggy conditions on some roads, particularly in the northern regions, from 4 to 8 am. There is also a chance of light rain in the coastal regions and parts of the Western Desert. Furthermore, winds will be blowing in most areas, providing some respite from the heat, especially during the night.
The Meteorological Authority has warned of potential flash floods and strong winds in some areas. Residents are advised to exercise caution while driving, especially during the early morning hours, due to reduced visibility caused by fog. The authority also recommends staying updated on the latest weather forecasts to ensure preparedness for any changes in the weather.
Looking ahead, the hot and humid weather is expected to persist until October 1. There is a chance of light rain on Monday in the coastal regions and the Nile Valley. By the end of the month, temperatures are expected to decrease gradually, with Cairo experiencing highs of 31 degrees Celsius by Tuesday, September 29.
As Egypt prepares for the changing seasons, residents are also wondering about the upcoming switch to winter time. According to the schedule, the country will switch to winter time at the end of the last Thursday in October, which will involve setting clocks back by 60 minutes. Until then, the country will remain on summer time.
Weather experts recommend that residents take precautions to stay safe during this transitional period. They advise wearing light, cotton clothing during the day and being cautious while driving due to foggy conditions. Staying informed about the latest weather updates will also help residents prepare for any changes in the weather.
