Egypt is expected to experience a gradual drop in temperatures over the coming period, especially during nighttime and early morning hours, as the country transitions into the autumn season. According to Dr. Manar Ghanem, a member of the media center at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, the temperature in Greater Cairo reached 30 degrees Celsius during the day, while the low temperature at night ranged between 20 and 21 degrees Celsius.
The current period is characterized by significant fluctuations in temperature between day and night, with a difference of up to 10 or 12 degrees Celsius. Dr. Ghanem noted that the heat may still be felt during the day with the sun shining, but temperatures drop noticeably after sunset. This fluctuation is expected to continue, with cooler nights anticipated, especially with the onset of October.
The wind is expected to continue blowing at speeds of 30-40 km/h across most governorates, helping to moderate the weather and reduce the perceived humidity. Dr. Ghanem advised people to choose their clothing carefully, especially during early morning hours, due to the significant temperature variations between day and night.
There is a chance of rainfall over the next five days, particularly along coastal areas bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the northern part of the Nile Delta. This is due to the influence of a low-pressure system in the upper atmosphere. The expected rainfall is predicted to be light to moderate on most coastal governorates, with a slight chance of light rain in some interior areas.
The Meteorological Authority has forecast that the maximum temperature in Greater Cairo will drop to 29-28 degrees Celsius by mid-next week. Dr. Ghanem emphasized that the gradual decrease in temperature is expected to continue across most governorates, with no significant increases in temperature anticipated in the coming days.
The cooler weather is expected to bring relief to Egyptians, especially during nighttime hours. With the onset of autumn, people are advised to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the fluctuating temperatures. The Meteorological Authority will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates on any changes in the forecast.
In conclusion, Egypt's weather is expected to experience a gradual drop in temperatures, with cooler nights and potential rainfall along coastal areas. The public is advised to stay informed about the latest weather forecast and take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the changing weather conditions. Key developments will be monitored and reported as more information becomes available.
