The weather in Egypt today, Sunday, is witnessing noticeable changes coinciding with the transitional phase between summer and autumn. The General Authority for Meteorology has predicted a slight and temporary rise in temperatures across most parts of the country, with chances of rain, fog, and active winds in several areas.

The General Authority for Meteorology clarified that the weather will be moderate and humid during the early morning hours, hot and humid during the day in northern regions up to Greater Cairo, while it will be extremely hot in South Sinai and the southern parts of the country.

During the night hours, moderate and humid weather will prevail over most parts of the republic.

The maximum temperature in Greater Cairo is expected to reach 34 degrees Celsius, feeling like 36 degrees, while the maximum will reach 40 degrees in southern Upper Egypt, and 41 degrees in Aswan and Abu Simbel.

The Meteorological Authority expects chances of light rain, which may be moderate in some areas of the northwestern coasts, northern Beheira, and the western desert, and it may be heavy at times in areas of Sallum and Matrouh, occurring intermittently.

There are also weak chances of light rain in scattered areas of southern Beheira, which may extend to Greater Cairo intermittently.

The authority warned of the formation of fog during the period from four to eight in the morning on some roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Greater Cairo, the canal cities, and northern Upper Egypt, with the possibility of dense fog at times in areas of central Sinai.

Drivers are urged to exercise caution while driving, especially in the early hours of the morning, to adhere to the prescribed speeds, and to maintain sufficient safety distances.

Winds will be active in most areas at speeds ranging from 30 to 35 kilometers per hour, which helps to moderate the atmosphere in the shade and during the night, while the winds may stir up sand and dust in some areas of the northwestern coasts, Beheira, and the exposed areas of Greater Cairo.

As the authority predicted, maritime navigation will be disrupted in some areas along the coasts of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez and Aqaba, with wind speeds reaching 40–60 kilometers per hour and wave heights between two and three meters.

These weather changes come at a time witnessing a gradual transition from summer to autumn.

Dr. Mohamed Ali Fahim, head of the Climate Change Information Center at the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, recently explained that Egypt is undergoing a transitional phase between summer and autumn, and that the drop in temperatures begins gradually, especially during the night and early morning hours, while some temporary increases in temperatures continue.

Fahim indicated through his official account on Facebook that the end of summer does not mean an immediate disappearance of hot weather, as the transitional period may witness temporary increases in temperatures, which necessitates continuous monitoring of weather developments.

The transitional weather will continue in the coming days, with expectations of a gradual decrease in temperatures following the temporary rise, according to weather reports and daily updates issued by the relevant authorities.
