Egypt braces for cooler temperatures and potential fog

Egypt is set to experience a noticeable drop in temperatures across most of the country, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA). This cooling trend is expected to last from Saturday until Thursday, September 3.

While daytime temperatures will remain hot, particularly in southern Upper Egypt where highs could reach 39-42C, the early morning hours will bring slightly hot and humid conditions. The northern coast can expect maximum temperatures between 30-31C, while Cairo and Lower Egypt will see highs around 34-35C. Northern Upper Egypt will experience temperatures between 35C and 37C.

Weather maps indicate a possibility of fog formation between 4 am and 8 am on several routes. These include roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Greater Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt. Drivers are urged to be cautious during these periods of reduced visibility.

Additionally, occasional winds are anticipated on Sunday, which could stir up sand and dust in southern Egypt. There is also a chance of light rainfall on Sunday in parts of the northern coastal governorates and northern Lower Egypt. The EMA is closely monitoring weather developments and advises the public to stay updated.
