The expected temperatures for today, September 21, 2026, vary across different regions. In Cairo, the high temperature is expected to reach 31 degrees Celsius, with a felt temperature of 33 degrees Celsius.

Several weather phenomena are expected to occur today. A misty fog is forecasted to occur from 4 to 8 am on some roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Cairo, and other regions. There is also a 20% chance of light rain in some areas of the northeastern coastal regions and northern parts of the Western Delta. Additionally, winds will blow at speeds of 30 to 35 km/h in most areas, which may lead to dust storms in some desert areas.
The wind is expected to have a significant impact on the weather in some regions.

The Meteorological Authority has also warned of potential dust storms in some desert areas due to strong winds. However, the winds are also expected to provide some relief from the heat, especially in shaded areas and at night. The authority has advised citizens to take necessary precautions when traveling, especially during the foggy morning hours.
