On March 4, 2025, Egypt is bracing for fluctuated weather as significant changes loom on the horizon. The General Authority of Meteorology predicts warm, stable weather across much of the country, particularly during the day, but caution against potential storms has also been raised. Weather systems from the Mediterranean are set to influence conditions starting tomorrow, especially along the northwestern coasts.
Experts have noted areas along the Mediterranean coast, particularly the cities of Alexandria and Matrouh, are expected to receive moderate rain. These weather patterns indicate the arrival of a low-pressure system bringing unstable weather, prompting questions about future rainfall across the country.
Forecasts indicate daytime temperatures will reach about 22°C (72°F) in Cairo, slightly above the seasonal average. Reports show the weather will turn cooler during the night, dropping to around 12°C (54°F). Across Egypt, daytime highs are expected to vary, reaching up to 29°C (84°F) in hotter southern regions and cooling down to around 18°C (64°F) along the coasts.
The general public has been advised to stay informed about possible weather fluctuations which may arise over the upcoming days. The forecasts suggest tomorrow's moderate rain may lead to increased chances of precipitation on Wednesday and Thursday, particularly for the northern regions.
On Tuesday, March 4, temperatures will hover around 20°C (68°F) during the day across parts of the northern coast, with expected rainfall increasing chances of cooler temperatures for the following days. Notably, the potential for thunderstorms is emphasized as the weather shifts dramatically.
Turning to the forecast for Alexandria, rainfall is expected from early Tuesday morning, likely leading to overcast skies and windy conditions. The anticipated rain is not just limited to Alexandria; meteorologists warn of impacts extending to much of the northern coastal areas, with the potential for gusty winds intensifying due to passing weather fronts.
Temperatures are expected to decrease by approximately 3 to 4°C (5 to 7°F) following this shift, with northern cities seeing the most significant drops. Cairo may experience light rain through Wednesday afternoon across various parts, which could lead to localized thunderstorms.
Experts from the meteorological authority have urged the population to remain vigilant during this transitional period, as changes can sometimes take people by surprise. Casualties of weather instability often require awareness of the forecast so as not to be caught out without appropriate clothing.
The sea conditions are also expected to fluctuate. The Mediterranean will experience moderate to rough conditions, with wave heights likely ranging from 1.5 to 3 meters. Beachgoers and fishermen are advised to take necessary precautions when venturing out during this time of increased wave action and winds.
Looking beyond the immediate forecast, improvement is expected later this week, with more stable conditions returning by the weekend. The government is advising farmers and other stakeholders to plan accordingly for the potential short-term effects of rainfall on the agriculture sector.
The authorities will continue to monitor the situation closely, and updates will be provided as more accurate data becomes available throughout this week. It’s recommended for everyone, especially those residing near the coastal regions, to stay tuned for updates early next week.
Overall, Egyptians should be prepared for the oscillation between comfortable warmth and sudden downpours, the kind of weather patterns often seen this time of year. Planning activities with respect to these forecasted conditions will be necessary to enjoy the milder sun before the intensified showers arrive.
