The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has released its weather forecast for Wednesday, September 23, 2026, which marks the official start of the autumn season. The country is expected to experience moderate to hot temperatures with high humidity levels during the morning hours. As the day progresses, the weather is predicted to become hot and humid in the northern regions, including Cairo, and extremely hot in the southern areas.
According to the forecast, the temperature in Cairo is expected to reach a high of 33 degrees Celsius, with a feels-like temperature of around 35 degrees Celsius. The weather will be moderate to hot and humid in the morning, and hot and humid during the day in the northern regions, including Cairo and the northern governorates. In contrast, the southern regions will experience extremely hot weather.
The Meteorological Authority has warned of the possibility of dense fog formation on some roads leading to and from the northern regions, including Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, and the northern governorates. The fog may be particularly dense in some areas, such as the northwestern coast and central Sinai, which may lead to reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions.
There is a slight chance of light rain showers in some areas of the northwestern coast and northern coastal governorates, with a possibility of moderate rain in the evening in areas such as Salloum, Matruh, and El-Alamein. Additionally, some low-level clouds may form in the northern regions and Cairo, which could lead to partial shading and a slight decrease in temperatures.
The wind is expected to pick up in some areas, including Cairo, southern Sinai, and the southern governorates, which may help to alleviate the heat, especially in shaded areas and at night. However, the wind may also stir up sand and dust in some areas, particularly in the New Valley governorate.
The Meteorological Authority has provided the expected temperature ranges for various cities across Egypt. These include: Cairo (low of 23, high of 32), New Administrative Capital (low of 21, high of 33), 6th of October City (low of 21, high of 32), and other major cities. The temperatures are expected to vary across different regions, with the northern areas experiencing relatively cooler temperatures.
The forecast indicates that there will be a gradual decrease in temperatures in some areas over the coming days, with continued chances of light rain showers in some coastal regions. The Meteorological Authority will continue to monitor the weather conditions and provide updates as necessary. The public is advised to take necessary precautions, especially when driving in areas with reduced visibility due to fog.
