The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has released a report detailing the expected weather conditions for the autumn season of 2026, which begins on September 23 and lasts for three months. According to the report, the season is expected to experience higher-than-average temperatures and rainfall levels due to the effects of climate change and the El Nino phenomenon. The authority has warned of potential extreme weather events, including heavy rain and thunderstorms.

The report highlights that the autumn season in Egypt is typically characterized by mild temperatures, but with a possibility of temporary and rapid increases in temperature, especially during the first half of the season.
