Cairo is gearing up for a warm week ahead, as the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) projects a slight increase in temperature across the country on Monday, September 7, 2026.
Weather Conditions Overview
On Monday, residents can expect a mix of mild and hot weather, particularly during the morning hours. As the day progresses, the heat will intensify, bringing humid conditions to most regions. Along the northern coastline, temperatures will remain hot and humid, while nighttime across most of Egypt will be more comfortable, offering a mild and humid atmosphere. Those venturing out should prepare for fluctuating conditions throughout the day.
Temperature Forecast for Various Regions
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the expected temperatures for different areas on Monday, September 7:
- Greater Cairo: High of 37°C; feels like 39°C
- Northwest Coast: High of 31°C; feels like 35°C
- Upper Egypt: High of 38°C; feels like 40°C
- Lower Egypt: High of 36°C; feels like 38°C
- Northeast Coast: High of 32°C; feels like 36°C
- Southern Egypt: High of 40°C; feels like 41°C
In the early hours of the morning, specifically between 4 AM and 8 AM, mist is expected on some roads leading to and from northern Egypt, impacting areas such as Greater Cairo, cities along the Suez Canal, and parts of central Sinai. Travelers should remain cautious, as visibility may be reduced due to fog, particularly on certain routes.
Potential Rain and Wind Activity
There’s a slight chance of low clouds developing over various parts of Greater Cairo, southern Lower Egypt, and the Suez Canal cities, leading to light drizzle in some regions. While the possibility of rain remains minimal at around 10%, residents should still be aware of the potential weather changes. The northern coastal governorates and some northern areas of Lower Egypt may experience light rain at intervals as well.
In addition to the temperatures and rainfall, wind activity is expected throughout most areas, with gusts ranging from 30 to 40 km/h. This will not only help cool evening temperatures in some exposed regions but may also stir up sand and dust in parts of the northwestern coast and southern Egypt, particularly during the day.
Coastal areas, including Marsa Matrouh, El Alamein, Alexandria, Baltim, Gamasa, Damietta, and Port Said, will experience regular wind activity. Consequently, waves in these areas could reach heights between 1.5 to 2.25 meters, making it crucial for beachgoers and maritime activities to stay informed about the weather conditions for safety.
In summary, as Egypt transitions into a warmer spell, the forecast suggests a day of varied temperatures, potential mist, and the possibility of light rain. Residents are advised to remain informed about incoming weather patterns to enjoy the day while prioritizing their safety and comfort.
