Egyptians woke up to a noticeable drop in temperatures on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, marking a decidedly brisk shift toward autumn across most of the country.
Youm7 reported that the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecasts moderate autumn weather during daylight hours for most regions. Southern Upper Egypt remains warm, while nighttime and early morning hours turn cold across the board.
Commuters faced reduced visibility early Tuesday as dense water fog blanketed roads from northern regions down to Greater Cairo, the Canal Cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt between 4:00 AM and 9:00 AM.
Sadeq reported that light to moderate rain showers developed across parts of the northern coasts and northern Lower Egypt with a 30% probability. Meanwhile, lighter, isolated sprinkles with a 10% chance brushed southern Lower Egypt and the Canal Cities, occasionally reaching Greater Cairo.
Brisk winds sweeping across the country at speeds between 30 and 40 kilometers per hour amplified the chill, according to Youm7. Al-Shorouk noted that these winds also kicked up dust and sand across parts of the Red Sea governorate and the New Valley.
Maritime navigation suffered significant disruptions along parts of the Red Sea coast, the Gulf of Suez, and the Gulf of Aqaba. Al-Shorouk specified that winds in these areas whipped up to speeds between 40 and 70 kilometers per hour, driving waves to heights between 2.0 and 3.5 meters.
Daytime highs and nighttime lows varied sharply by region. Greater Cairo and the Nile Delta hovered around a high of 23°C to 24°C with lows dipping to 13°C or 14°C. Alexandria and Mediterranean coastal cities recorded highs between 21°C and 23°C and lows from 15°C to 17°C.
In southern regions, temperatures remained warmer by day. Luxor and Aswan peaked at 28°C with lows of 14°C, while South Sinai destinations like Sharm El-Sheikh reached 27°C by day before dropping to 19°C at night. High-altitude St. Catherine experienced the sharpest chill, plunging to a low of 6°C with a high of 17°C.
“The country is witnessing a stable trend heading toward the end of the week, with temperatures beginning a slight climb starting Thursday to record a high of 27°C in Cairo.”
