The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) released a comprehensive weather forecast for the capital and regional governorates, coinciding with the final days of the month of Amshir. Temperatures in the capital are projected to reach a daytime high of 21C before plummeting to an overnight low of 11C. Diurnal shifts and frost risks Forecasts indicate that most regions will experience a temperate-to-warm climate during daylight hours. However, this mildness is expected to dissipate rapidly after sunset, giving way to extreme cold across the country. A specific “Frost Warning” has been issued for the agricultural heartlands of Central Sinai, where plummeting temperatures pose a risk to seasonal crops. Visibility alerts: Dense fog and cloud cover Authorities have cautioned motorists and commuters regarding dense water vapor (mist) beginning at four AM. Visibility is expected to be significantly reduced across: Greater Cairo and the Suez Canal Cities. Lower Egypt (the Northern Delta). Northern Upper Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula. In certain low-lying areas, this mist may escalate into heavy fog. Additionally, low-level cloud formations are expected to move across the northern coastline toward the capital, while intermittent wind activity is forecast for South Sinai throughout the day.
