Cool, rainy weather expected for Egypt on Tuesday

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) expects a noticeable drop in temperatures across the country on Tuesday. The weather will be mild—typical of autumn—during the day, turning cold at night and in the early morning.

These conditions coincide with a chance of rain along the northern coasts, while active winds will make the weather feel even colder, especially during the evening and nighttime hours.

Expected temperatures for Tuesday:

• Greater Cairo: High 23C, Low 14C
• Alexandria: High 23C, Low 17C
• Matrouh: High 21C, Low 16C
• Sharm el-Sheikh: High 27C, Low 19C
• Hurghada: High 26C, Low 18C
• Fayoum: High 24C, Low 13C
• Minya: High 25C, Low 11C
• Assiut: High 24C, Low 12C
• Luxor and Aswan: High 28C, Low 14C

Rains and Wind

The EMA forecasts indicate an increased likelihood of rain along the northern coasts and northern Lower Egypt. The rainfall is expected to be light, occasionally becoming moderate, with a probability of approximately 30 percent.

There is also a very slight 10 percent chance of light rain in scattered areas across southern Lower Egypt and Suez Canal cities, potentially extending to parts of Greater Cairo.

Winds will occasionally pick up, reaching speeds between 30-40 km/h across most regions, which will enhance the feeling of cold weather.

In parts of the Red Sea region and the New Valley, these winds may also stir up sand and dust.

Disruption to Maritime Navigation

The EMA issued a warning regarding disrupted maritime navigation along parts of the Red Sea coast, as well as the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba.

Wind speeds in these areas are expected to range between 40-70 km/h, with wave heights reaching 2.5 to 3.5 meters.

Conditions in the Mediterranean Sea will be moderate, with wave heights between 1.5 and two meters.

The EMA advises citizens to carry a jacket or extra clothing when going out at night or during late hours to avoid catching a cold, given the current weather fluctuations and chilly nighttime temperatures.

Furthermore, motorists are urged to exercise caution while driving during the morning hours due to the presence of mist, and to stay updated with the latest weather reports.
