The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) predicts mild daytime temperatures on Tuesday for Greater Cairo, the Delta, and northern Upper Egypt.

Moderate conditions will reign over the western coasts. Still, South Sinai and southern Upper Egypt will remain warm. 

However, nighttime and early morning temperatures across most areas will be very cold.

Light rain — potentially moderate — could fall on parts of the northern coasts on Wednesday and Thursday, extending to the northern Delta. Scattered light showers could also reach the southern Delta. 

Similarly, light rain is possible along the northern coasts between Friday and Sunday.

Additionally, intermittent winds are expected across various regions from Wednesday through Sunday.

From Tuesday to Sunday, daytime temperatures in Cairo and Lower Egypt will start at 23 degrees Celsius and gradually decline to 17 degrees by Friday, remaining steady through the weekend. Nighttime lows will drop to 9-13 degrees.

On the northern coasts, daytime temperatures will be approximately 21 degrees on Tuesday, decreasing to 15 degrees from Friday to Sunday. Nighttime lows will fall to 10-12 degrees degrees.
