The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has officially declared the start of autumn, marking a significant shift in the country's weather patterns. According to Dr. Manar Ghoneim, a meteorologist at the authority, the onset of autumn brings with it milder temperatures and improved weather conditions, a welcome change from the hot and extremely hot weather that characterized the summer season. This change is expected to bring relief to the population.

Dr. Ghoneim stated that the country is entering a phase of relative moderation in terms of temperature, with autumn being one of the most moderate seasons in terms of heat values. The meteorologist predicted further improvements in weather conditions over the coming period, with temperatures expected to stabilize around their natural averages for this time of year. This stabilization is expected to bring about a more pleasant climate.

The temperature in Greater Cairo is expected to reach 32 degrees Celsius during the day, a relatively moderate temperature compared to the scorching heat of the summer months. The decline in temperatures is more pronounced at night and in the early morning hours, giving the atmosphere a more moderate character, especially with the beginning of the decline of the extremely hot weather. This change is expected to be beneficial for the population.

Despite the improvement in weather conditions, Dr. Ghoneim advised citizens to continue wearing summer clothing, while also recommending that school students wear long-sleeved summer clothing during the early morning hours, especially given the relative decline in temperatures during these hours. This advice aims to help individuals adapt to the changing weather conditions.

The meteorologist also warned of the possibility of fog formation during the early morning hours, urging drivers to exercise caution while driving and adhere to speed limits, especially on agricultural roads, highways, and roads near water bodies, to ensure their safety. This warning is crucial in preventing accidents and ensuring road safety.

The start of autumn marks a significant shift in Egypt's weather patterns, with the country expected to experience milder temperatures and improved weather conditions over the coming weeks. The Meteorological Authority's predictions indicate that the country is entering a period of relative moderation, with temperatures expected to stabilize around their natural averages. This change is expected to bring relief to the population.
