A low-pressure system has struck the Mediterranean Sea, causing a drop in temperatures across Egypt. According to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, the temperature drop is expected to continue, with a noticeable decrease in both daytime and nighttime temperatures. This change is part of the seventh week of the autumn season, with winter approaching climatically. The temperature fluctuations are a natural phenomenon during this time of year.

The low-pressure system is affecting Egypt's weather, with Dr. Manar Ghoneim, a meteorologist at the Egyptian Meteorological Authority, stating that the country's weather is influenced by the extension of the low-pressure system over the Mediterranean. Additionally, there is a northern air mass with low temperatures coming from southern Europe. This combination is leading to a decrease in temperatures, with the cold air mass dominating the region.

The provinces are also experiencing the effects of another low-pressure system in the upper atmosphere, which is contributing to the formation of low and medium clouds. These clouds are accompanied by rainfall in coastal cities and provinces, and are also blocking some of the sun's rays, resulting in a relatively cloudy day. The weather conditions are expected to continue in this manner, with temperatures remaining lower than usual.

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has released a list of expected temperatures for various cities across the country. In Cairo, the temperature is expected to reach 24°C during the day and 16°C at night. Other cities, such as Alexandria and Hurghada, are expected to experience similar temperature fluctuations. The temperatures will be lower in the northern regions and higher in the southern regions.

The low-pressure system is expected to continue affecting Egypt's weather in the coming days, with temperatures remaining relatively low. The Meteorological Authority has warned that the temperature drop will be more pronounced at night, with some areas experiencing temperatures as low as 7°C. The public is advised to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the cold.

The temperature variations are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with winter approaching. The Meteorological Authority is monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as necessary. The public is advised to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and to plan accordingly.

Some regions are expected to experience more significant temperature drops than others. For example, the city of Katarin is expected to experience a temperature of 17°C during the day and 7°C at night, while the city of Shalatin is expected to experience a temperature of 30°C during the day and 22°C at night. The variations in temperature are due to the different geographical locations and elevations of the regions.
