The Egyptian Meteorological Authority announced that the latest weather updates and satellite imagery show rain clouds moving to northern coastal areas, specifically Lake and Kafr El Sheikh. The clouds are accompanied by varying intensities of rain, which may be heavy in some areas. This weather pattern is expected to continue, with the authority advising people to monitor updates in the coming hours.
According to Dr. Manar Ghoneim, a meteorologist at the Meteorological Authority, the country is still under the influence of a low-pressure system in the upper atmosphere, contributing to the appearance of low and medium-level clouds. These clouds block part of the sun's rays, leading to lower temperatures. The prevailing air masses are mostly northern, originating from southwest Europe and passing over the Mediterranean.
The Meteorological Authority expects the weather to remain autumnal, with temperatures in most governorates around or below their natural levels for this time of year. In Cairo, the expected high temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. In Luxor and Aswan, temperatures are expected to range between 38 and 39 degrees Celsius, while in northern coastal governorates, they will range between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius.
The weather forecast for Thursday indicates a continuation of autumnal conditions, with moderate temperatures in most governorates during the early morning. However, as the day progresses, temperatures will rise, becoming hot in Cairo, the Delta region, and northern Upper Egypt, while being very hot in southern Upper Egypt. The Meteorological Authority warns of intense solar radiation during peak hours.
Dr. Ghoneim stated that there is a 30% chance of scattered showers in northern coastal areas and western desert regions, with a 10% chance of heavy rain in some limited areas. There is also a slight chance of light rain in southern Delta governorates, Canal cities, and possibly Cairo and northern Upper Egypt.
In addition to the rain, the Meteorological Authority expects wind activity to increase, with speeds ranging from 30 to 40 kilometers per hour in some areas, particularly in northwestern coastal regions, Sinai, and Upper Egypt governorates. This will contribute to a more pleasant atmosphere.
The Meteorological Authority advises citizens to stay updated on weather forecasts, especially in the coming hours, as the situation may change. The current weather pattern is expected to continue, with a persistence of autumnal conditions and varying chances of rain in different regions.
