Heatwave Peak and Temperature Drop Expected
Meteorological reports reveal that Thursday, August 27, 2026, marks the peak of Egypt's heatwave, accompanied by a significant rise in temperatures and humidity levels. Actual temperatures are expected to exceed 38°C in Greater Cairo and reach 43-44°C in southern Upper Egypt, with the perceived heat feeling like 45°C due to high humidity. This condition is associated with an extension of an upper-level low-pressure system and moist air masses from the Mediterranean Sea, which increase the sensation of heat and pose a risk of dense fog on the roads, especially in the mornings. The forecasts indicate that temperatures will gradually begin to decrease starting Saturday as a low-pressure system moves in, bringing temperatures closer to typical summer levels (around 34-35°C in Cairo). There will be a noticeable improvement in weather conditions and a reduction in the feeling of heat, with a chance of rain in some coastal areas. Additionally, the rising waves could disrupt maritime navigation in the Mediterranean Sea over the weekend.
