Egypt is set to experience a significant improvement in its weather conditions as the country transitions into the autumn season. According to Dr. Mahmoud Al-Qayati, a weather forecaster at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, the current temperature is around its natural average, with the high temperature in Cairo expected to reach 32-33 degrees Celsius in the shade. The temperature drops significantly at night and early morning, ranging from 21-22 degrees Celsius in Cairo and some northern regions.
The weather during the day will be hot in the north, including Cairo and some northern governorates, while the south will experience extremely hot conditions, with temperatures reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius. Dr. Al-Qayati noted that these temperatures are expected to persist for at least a week, with no significant increase in sight. However, there is a possibility of light temperature increases from time to time during the first half of the autumn season.
The presence of light clouds during early morning hours in the north, along with wind speeds of 30-35 km/h, will help to moderate the weather and reduce the feeling of high temperatures. Additionally, these clouds may bring light rain showers to various areas along the northern coast and some regions in the Nile Delta.
According to Dr. Al-Qayati, the weather forecast indicates that the intensity of the rain may increase on Thursday in some areas along the northwestern coast and northern Nile Delta governorates. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority is closely monitoring the development of the low-pressure system.
Dr. Al-Qayati emphasized that the start of the autumn season does not necessarily mean the end of the summer weather from a climatic perspective. He noted that the first half of the season may experience some light temperature increases. The expected natural temperature averages for the coming period range from 30-32 degrees Celsius.
The seasonal and quarterly forecasts by the Egyptian Meteorological Authority indicate that the average temperature may be slightly higher than the natural average during the first half of the autumn season. Additionally, the forecasts suggest that the amount of rainfall during the autumn season may be slightly higher than the natural average.
Regions such as the Red Sea, southern Sinai, and the Red Sea governorate are expected to experience relatively higher temperatures compared to other parts of the country. These areas are likely to continue recording higher temperatures than Cairo and other regions in the coming period.
