Temperatures have started to fall in northern Egypt following a week of intense heat, offering some relief to residents in Greater Cairo and parts of Upper Egypt, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA).
In the capital and surrounding areas, daytime highs are expected to hover around 34 degrees Celsius, while coastal cities along the Mediterranean will see milder conditions closer to 30 degrees.
But the heat remains unrelenting in southern Egypt, where temperatures are forecast to reach up to 42 degrees — continuing a scorching spell that has gripped the region for weeks. Northern Upper Egypt will also stay hot, with highs of 38 degrees.
Nights are expected to be relatively warm but more tolerable, helped in part by active winds sweeping across much of the country. However, gusts may stir up sand and dust in parts of the Western Desert.
Early morning fog is likely to form on roads in and out of Cairo, the Canal Cities, and parts of Sinai, potentially reducing visibility for drivers.
There’s also a chance of light rain in the far south, with brief showers forecast in Halayeb and Shalateen on Sunday and Monday.
