Egypt is set to experience autumnal weather on Friday, according to a forecast by the Egyptian Meteorological Authority. The country's weather will be influenced by a low-pressure system that is not deeply rooted in the upper layers of the atmosphere. This system will lead to the formation of low-level clouds that will block some sunlight, contributing to the autumnal atmosphere in most parts of the country.
The temperature is expected to drop at night and early in the morning, while rising slightly in the southern regions. There is a chance of rain with varying intensity, potentially accompanied by thunderstorms, in areas such as Upper Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Red Sea. Additionally, windy conditions and fog are expected, which may reduce visibility on some roads.
The southern regions will experience a slight rise in temperature due to the extension of the Sudanese seasonal low-pressure system, also known as the Red Sea low-pressure system. This will lead to higher temperatures, especially in the southern parts of Upper Egypt. The expected high temperatures in Cairo will range between 29 and 30 degrees Celsius, while in coastal areas, they will range between 27 and 28 degrees.
In the southern regions, such as Luxor and Aswan, the high temperatures are expected to reach 38-39 degrees Celsius. However, the temperatures will drop significantly at night, with lows ranging between 19 and 20 degrees Celsius in Cairo and 17-18 degrees in new cities. The temperature differences between day and night will range between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius in some areas.
The Meteorological Authority has warned of the possibility of fog on agricultural and high-speed roads, especially those near water bodies, which may reduce visibility. There is also a chance of rain in areas such as Upper Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Red Sea, due to the extension of the Red Sea or Sudanese low-pressure systems.
The rain is expected to be light to moderate, potentially accompanied by thunderstorms, especially in the evening. The Meteorological Authority has advised caution, especially in mountainous areas, and warned of the possibility of strong winds accompanying the rain. The authority has also emphasized the importance of monitoring weather forecasts and updates.
The wind is expected to be active in most parts of the country, which will help to moderate the temperature. However, it may also lead to the stirring of sand and dust in southern Upper Egypt and areas of the eastern desert. The Meteorological Authority has warned of the possibility of strong winds with thunderstorms, which may lead to the stirring of sand and dust.
