Egypt is witnessing a welcome change in weather as the country transitions into autumn. The hot weather that had gripped several cities and governorates in the past few weeks is gradually receding. According to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, a high-pressure system is dominating the country's weather, bringing with it a mass of cool air from the upper atmosphere. This change is expected to bring more temperate conditions to various parts of the country.
The Meteorological Authority's forecasts indicate that the country's weather is being influenced by three main factors. Firstly, a northern air mass is moving into the region, bringing cooler air from the upper atmosphere. Secondly, a low-pressure system is developing over the Mediterranean Sea, which is expected to increase cloud cover and reduce temperatures. Finally, the prevailing winds are also playing a role in shaping the country's weather, with northeasterly and westerly winds expected to pick up during the day.
The decline in temperatures is expected to be more pronounced at night, with lows dropping significantly over the coming days. According to Dr. Manar Ghoneim, a meteorologist at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, the country's temperatures are expected to drop gradually as autumn progresses. She noted that the weather will become more temperate and pleasant, with a decrease in the intensity of heatwaves.
The temperature forecast for today indicates a significant drop in temperatures across the country. In Cairo, the high is expected to reach 30°C, while the low will dip to 21°C. Similarly, in other cities, such as Alexandria, the high is expected to reach 28°C, while the low will be around 22°C. The temperature forecast for other cities and governorates across the country also indicates a significant drop in temperatures.
The Meteorological Authority has also forecast a continued decline in temperatures over the coming days, with more pleasant conditions expected to prevail. The authority has warned that the winds may pick up during the day, which could make the weather feel cooler. The forecast indicates that the country's weather will continue to improve as autumn progresses.
The temperature forecast for various cities and governorates across Egypt is as follows: In the New Administrative Capital, the high is expected to reach 32°C, while the low will dip to 20°C. In Suez, the high is expected to reach 31°C, while the low will be around 20°C. In other cities, such as Port Said, the high is expected to reach 30°C, while the low will be around 24°C.
