Egypt Weather: Scorching Heat and High Humidity Expected on August 25, 2026
The Egyptian Meteorological Authority reports that Egypt will experience severe heat and high humidity levels on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Daytime temperatures will peak at 42 degrees Celsius in southern regions like Aswan and Abu Simbel, while Cairo and the Nile Delta will see highs reaching 37 degrees Celsius alongside dense morning fog on major transport routes.
Persistent high humidity continues to amplify the perceived thermal load across the country, creating oppressive conditions from the Mediterranean coast down to Upper Egypt. According to the state meteorological service, early morning hours will feature warm, humid weather that transitions into severe heat by midday across the majority of the nation. Coastal areas remain relatively cooler, though high moisture content keeps the atmosphere muggy.
Detailed Regional Temperature Breakdown and Atmospheric Conditions
Meteorologists indicate that Greater Cairo and the Nile Delta will record daytime highs of 37 degrees Celsius with nighttime lows dropping to 26 degrees Celsius. Coastal cities, including Alexandria and Matrouh, experience more moderate conditions with maximum temperatures hovering around 32 to 33 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, southern upper Egypt faces extreme heat, with Aswan and Abu Simbel reaching a blistering 42 degrees Celsius.
Atmospheric stability during the early morning hours is producing dense water fog between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM. This low visibility impacts major roadways stretching from northern regions to Greater Cairo, the Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt.
Wind Patterns and Coastal Dynamics
Wind speeds varying between 30 and 35 kilometers per hour are expected to sweep across several regions by afternoon and evening. These winds provide a slight cooling effect in open areas, temporarily mitigating the intense daytime humidity. Minimal cloud cover over parts of the northern coast and the Canal zone may produce light, non-impactful mist, but no substantial precipitation is forecasted.
