The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has released its weather forecast for Tuesday, September 29, 2026. According to the forecast, a hot autumn day is expected, with temperatures varying across different regions. The weather will be moderate in the early morning, hot during the day on the northern coastlines, and very hot in the Cairo metropolitan area, the Nile Delta, and northern Upper Egypt.
The Meteorological Authority has warned of a water mist phenomenon, which is expected to occur from 4:00 AM to 8:00 AM on some roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Cairo, the Suez Canal, and central Sinai. This may cause reduced visibility, especially during the early morning hours. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while driving during this period.
There is a chance of light to moderate rain showers in some areas, particularly in the northern coastal regions and parts of the western desert. The probability of rain is estimated to be around 20%. In some areas, the rain may be heavier, with a 10% chance of more significant downpours. Additionally, there is a 10% chance of light rain showers in the southern regions of the Nile Delta, which may extend to parts of Cairo, central Sinai, and the southernmost regions of Egypt.
The Meteorological Authority has also reported that winds will be blowing at a speed of 30-40 km/h across most areas, which will help to moderate the temperature, especially in shaded areas and during the night. This wind pattern is expected to provide some relief from the heat.
Regarding maritime conditions, the Mediterranean Sea is expected to experience moderate waves, with a height of 1.5-2.5 meters and northwesterly winds. The Red Sea will have moderate to rough waves, with a height of 2-2.5 meters and northwesterly to northeasterly winds. In the Suez Gulf, the waves are expected to be moderate to rough, with a height of 2-3 meters and northwesterly winds.
The Meteorological Authority has provided temperature forecasts for various regions, although specific temperature ranges have not been disclosed. The public is advised to stay informed about the latest weather updates and forecasts.
The current weather forecast is part of a larger climate pattern, with the El Niño phenomenon expected to intensify towards the end of 2026. Egypt may experience extreme weather conditions during the autumn and winter seasons. The National Meteorological Authority will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
