Meteorological Authority on Reported Temperatures
Meteorological authorities clarify that the reported temperature is an actual measurement of the air temperature according to standards set by the World Meteorological Organization. It is measured inside a shield, away from direct sunlight, at a height of two meters. In contrast, the perceived temperature is what humans actually experience and is affected by factors such as humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed, which can sometimes make it feel warmer than the recorded temperature. During the peak of the current heatwave, the maximum reported temperature in Cairo reached 39°C, while the perceived temperature was higher due to increased humidity. As humidity continues to rise with the spread of the South Asian monsoon low, the gap between the two temperatures is expected to widen. Therefore, official weather reports include the perceived temperature to provide a more accurate picture of how temperatures feel to people.
