Egypt Braces for Cooler Temperatures and Increased Autumn Rainfall Amidst El Niño Influence

Meteorological authorities in Egypt have issued a weather warning, anticipating lower minimum temperatures and heightened winds during late-night and early-morning hours across all regions. These conditions are expected to increase the perception of coldness. Authorities are advising residents, particularly the elderly and children, to wear jackets when outdoors during this period to prevent common colds.

Meteorologists have identified the El Niño phenomenon as a significant factor influencing Egypt's weather this year. El Niño, known for its impact on countries bordering oceans, especially in the central and eastern Pacific, is causing altered weather patterns globally. This phenomenon typically leads to a rise in global average temperatures and contributes to increased climate shifts.

The impact of El Niño is forecast to intensify in November and December, signaling a distinct climatic shift during the autumn season. Experts explain that Egypt is indirectly affected by El Niño. The Meteorological Authority has announced that autumn rainfall rates this year are expected to be higher than average. This increase is attributed to rising sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea, further exacerbated by the effects of climate change.
