The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has revealed the expected weather conditions for the autumn season of 2026, which begins on September 24. The season is expected to be characterized by mild temperatures, with possible temporary increases in temperature, especially during the first half of the season. The authority has also warned of the possibility of dense fog forming in the northern regions of the country, which may lead to reduced visibility on roads.
The Meteorological Authority has indicated that the autumn season may experience unstable weather conditions, with the possibility of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. The authority's weather maps suggest that a low-pressure system may affect the northern regions of the country, leading to the formation of clouds and thunderstorms. This may result in increased rainfall, strong winds, and potential flash flooding in some areas.
The southern regions of the country, including the Red Sea governorate and the Sinai Peninsula, may be affected by the extension of the Sudanese low-pressure system. This may lead to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, with the possibility of flash flooding in some mountainous areas. The authority has warned that the rainfall in these regions may be above average, with temperatures also expected to be higher than usual.
According to the Meteorological Authority, the seasonal forecast indicates that the rainfall and temperature levels during this autumn season are expected to be slightly higher than the average climate levels. This is attributed to the impact of climate change, rising sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean, and the potential indirect impact of the El Niño phenomenon.
The El Niño phenomenon is considered an exceptional weather event that may have significant impacts on global weather patterns. The Meteorological Authority has emphasized that this announcement aims to provide an early warning of the expected weather conditions during the autumn season, allowing for necessary preparations and precautions to be taken.
The authority has also stressed that it will issue specific weather warnings for unstable weather conditions expected during the season, providing sufficient notice before they occur. This will enable the public to take necessary precautions and stay informed about the latest weather developments.
The Meteorological Authority's forecast for the autumn season highlights the need for vigilance and preparedness in the face of potentially unstable weather conditions. With the expected increase in rainfall and temperatures, it is essential for the public to stay informed and take necessary precautions to minimize the impacts of these weather events.
