As we step into the heart of October, the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) is ringing alarm bells for those who may not be prepared for the sweltering conditions ahead. With hot weather being the dominant theme across the nation this Tuesday, it’s time for residents and travelers alike to brace for a taste of summer.
The sun will be shining brightly across most of Egypt, especially in the southern regions where Upper Egypt is expected to experience extremely hot temperatures. This warm climate doesn’t just stop at the daytime; the evenings are promising a cooler yet pleasant atmosphere, transitioning into a refreshingly fall-like chill during early morning hours.
For urban dwellers, fog is likely to linger in the air, impacting visibility on roads from Cairo to Central Sinai. If you’re planning to hit the highways or navigating through agricultural areas, a little caution is advised due to the mist that may transform into denser fog. This phenomenon could especially affect the daily commute, so make sure to take your time and drive safely.
Interestingly, a minor chance of light rain could grace the Northwest Coast, providing a brief respite from the heat. However, the chances of a downpour are slight, so it might be wise not to rely on this welcome relief too heavily.
On the water, the Mediterranean Sea is expected to have light to moderate waves, creating ideal conditions for fishing and leisure activities, while the Red Sea will entertain water sports enthusiasts with moderate waves ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters in height.
For those planning to enjoy the beauty of Egypt, here are some predicted temperatures for today: a balmy 32°C in Cairo, 31°C in Alexandria, and 38°C in the sun-drenched Aswan. These temperatures provide a great opportunity to explore Egypt’s rich historical sites or coastal escapes, bearing in mind to stay hydrated and sun-safe.
So, whether you’re drenched in the bustling markets of Cairo or relaxing on the serene beaches of Marsa Matruh, remember: it’s a hot day out, so embrace the warmth and savor what this incredible country has to offer!
