Egypt Faces Unsettled Weather and Drop in Temperatures Due to Low-Pressure System Until Weekend

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecasts that Egypt will be affected by a low-pressure system, resulting in declining temperatures and an increased chance of rainfall across several regions. These unsettled weather conditions are projected to last through the end of the week.

Light rain is expected, accompanied by low-level cloud cover and a noticeable decrease in temperatures. Daytime highs are anticipated to range between 29-30C, while nighttime lows will drop to approximately 19C. Additionally, the EMA issued warnings regarding morning mist—expected from 4:00 AM to 8:00 AM—on roads leading to and from the north of the country. This includes routes passing through Greater Cairo, the Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt, prompting advisories for motorists to exercise caution and follow traffic regulations due to reduced visibility.

According to Sunday’s weather maps, light to moderate rainfall, potentially accompanied by thunderstorms, is likely across parts of the northern coast. Inland areas may experience light rain, with a low probability of precipitation in Greater Cairo. Sunday's weather will feature autumnal and slightly hot conditions during the day along the northern coast, hot weather in Greater Cairo and northern Upper Egypt, and very hot conditions in southern Upper Egypt. Conditions will remain mild early in the night before turning cooler towards late night and early morning.

Forecasted maximum temperatures include 26C for the northern coast, 30C for Greater Cairo, 31C for northern Upper Egypt, and 37C for southern Upper Egypt, with minimum temperatures ranging between 19C-24C depending on the region.
