The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has issued a weather forecast for Sunday, September 27, 2026, warning of disrupted sea navigation. The forecast indicates that a moderate temperature with high humidity will prevail in the early morning, followed by hot and humid weather during the day in the northern regions, including Cairo, and extremely hot in South Sinai and the southern regions. At night, the temperature will drop to moderate levels with high humidity across most areas.
The Meteorological Authority has predicted a misty morning, with fog expected to form between 4 and 8 am on some roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt. The fog may be dense in some areas, particularly in central Sinai. This has raised concerns about potential disruptions to road travel.
There is a chance of light to moderate rain, with a 30% probability of scattered showers in various areas of the northwestern coastal governorates and northern parts of the Western Desert. In some areas, such as Salloum and Matruh, the rain may be heavy at times. Additionally, there is a 10% chance of light rain in scattered areas of the southern coastal governorates, which may extend to parts of Cairo.
The Meteorological Authority has also reported that winds will be blowing at a speed of 30-35 km/h across most areas, which will help to moderate the temperature in the shade and at night in some open areas. However, in some areas, such as the northwestern coastal regions, the winds may be strong enough to stir up sand and dust.
The authority has issued a warning about the state of sea navigation. The Mediterranean Sea is expected to experience moderate winds and waves, with wave heights ranging from 1 to 1.5 meters. The Red Sea will have moderate to rough seas, with wave heights between 2 and 2.5 meters. The Suez Gulf will also experience moderate to rough seas, with wave heights of 2-3 meters.
The Meteorological Authority has provided temperature forecasts for various regions. While specific temperature ranges were not provided, the authority has warned of hot and humid weather during the day and moderate temperatures at night. Residents and visitors are advised to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the heat and potential disruptions.
