After enduring relentless heat, Egyptians can finally look forward to cooler days ahead. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has announced a significant drop in temperatures across most of the country starting Tuesday. This shift brings a relief of three to four degrees Celsius, turning the scorching heat into more bearable warmth. Along with the temperature dip, some regions may even experience rainfall—a welcome change for many. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed about the weather changes to plan their activities accordingly.
What Does the Weather Forecast Say?
According to the EMA, the expected temperature in Greater Cairo will reach 30°C during the day. This marks a noticeable decrease compared to previous weeks.
Weather maps are showing scattered clouds moving towards areas like Matrouh, Fouka, Dabaa, and Sidi Barrani. These clouds bring with them chances of rainfall, a rarity in these parts during this season. The western coasts and northern parts of the Nile Delta might also see intermittent showers.
Moderate wind activity has been observed in most regions, sometimes becoming more active in open areas. This wind might enhance the feeling of coolness, especially during the evening hours. So, don’t be surprised if you feel a light breeze brushing past you.
Cooler Nights Ahead!
The nights are set to become moderately cold, especially during late night and early morning hours.
Here’s the temperature forecast for Tuesday:
| Region | Expected Temperature |
|---|---|
| Northwestern Coast | 27°C |
| Greater Cairo | 30°C |
| Northern and Central Upper Egypt | 32°C |
| South Sinai and Red Sea Ranges | 35°C |
| Southern Upper Egypt | 38°C |
These temperatures indicate a significant drop, especially in the Northwestern Coast where it’s expected to be 27°C. It’s a good idea to keep a light jacket handy if you’re planning to be out late.
How Will This Affect Your Day?
With the weather becoming more pleasant, outdoor activities might become more enjoyable. However, the sudden change could catch some off guard.
Here are some tips to make the most of the cooler weather:
- Dress in layers: Mornings and evenings may be cooler than midday.
- Stay updated: Keep an eye on weather forecasts for any sudden changes.
- Plan outdoor activities: This might be the perfect time for a picnic or a walk.
Remember, while the days are still warm, the nights can be quite cool. Adjust your plans accordingly to stay comfortable.
EMA Advises Caution Amid Weather Changes
The EMA has urged citizens to be mindful of the changing weather conditions.
“These temperature fluctuations are typical during this time of the year,” an EMA spokesperson said. “We recommend people, especially the elderly and children, to take necessary precautions.” The sudden drop can affect those sensitive to weather changes. Staying hydrated and dressing appropriately can help mitigate any discomfort.
Additionally, the EMA has noted that wind activity may become more pronounced in open areas. This could affect travel plans, particularly for those heading to coastal regions. Keeping informed through official channels is the best way to stay prepared.
