Egypt is set to experience a gradual decrease in temperatures over the forthcoming few days, according to the country's Meteorological Authority. The shift in weather began on Friday and is expected to persist until next Tuesday, bringing temperatures back to their typical seasonal averages for this time of year.

As the week commences, the northern parts of Egypt, extending from Greater Cairo to North Upper Egypt, will witness a transition from moderate to warm and humid conditions during the day, with the heat becoming particularly intense in South Upper Egypt. Maximum temperatures in Greater Cairo and the Nile Delta are projected to peak at 33°C on Friday, before gradually falling to 32°C on Saturday and Sunday.

Conversely, in South Upper Egypt, temperatures are anticipated to plummet from a scorching 43°C to a more temperate 39°C by the beginning of next week. Meteorologists have issued a warning about the potential for dense morning fog, which may form between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM on roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Greater Cairo, the Canal Cities, and Central Sinai.

Additionally, there is a possibility of light to moderately heavy rainfall in certain areas of the northern coasts and the northern Nile Delta. Winds are expected to intensify across most regions, reaching speeds between 30 and 40 km/h, which will contribute to a cooling effect. However, this change may also lead to the disturbance of sand and dust in some parts of the Western Desert.
