A cool start to the day will give way to warmer temperatures across much of Egypt on Monday, March 30, 2026, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority. Yet, residents should prepare for a significant temperature drop overnight, and drivers are being warned of dense fog in several regions. The forecast indicates a particularly warm day for those in the south of Upper Egypt.
The authority is predicting a chilly morning, transitioning to a pleasant daytime warmth for most of the country. Conditions will be hot in the far south of Upper Egypt, while cooler temperatures will return overnight across the majority of regions. The primary concern for early morning commuters is the potential for dense fog, impacting visibility in northern parts of the country.
Fog Advisory: Reduced Visibility Expected
A dense fog is expected to form between 4:00 AM and 9:00 AM local time across areas stretching from the north of the country, including Greater Cairo, the Suez Canal cities, northern Upper Egypt, and the central Sinai Peninsula. Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution, reduce speed, and use low-beam headlights during this period. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority issued the warning Sunday, urging residents to stay informed of the latest updates.
Scattered Showers Possible
Beyond the fog, there is a chance of light rainfall in parts of northern Upper Egypt, the Western Desert, northern areas of the Red Sea Governorate, and southern Sinai. The probability of these showers extending to areas around Greater Cairo is estimated at around 20%, occurring in intermittent bursts. While not expected to be heavy, these scattered showers could create slick road conditions.
