Cairo was expected to experience warm weather during the day on Sunday, October 18, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority. The forecast put the city’s high temperature at around 29 degrees Celsius, with the temperature falling to about 18 degrees overnight. The conditions are typical of the seasonal change as daytime warmth gives way to cooler evenings.
The authority said warm weather would extend across northern Egypt and Greater Cairo. South Sinai and southern parts of the country were expected to experience hotter conditions during the day. At night, temperatures were forecast to become cooler across most areas, creating a noticeable difference between daytime and evening conditions.
For people living in Cairo, the forecast may affect choices about travel, outdoor activities and clothing. Daytime temperatures near 29 degrees can still feel hot when people are walking in direct sunlight or spending long periods outdoors. Cooler evenings may make parks, open-air cafés and outdoor exercise more comfortable.
Weather forecasts are also useful for people working outdoors, including delivery workers, construction staff and street vendors. Planning breaks, drinking enough water and seeking shade can help people manage warm conditions. Residents who travel across Egypt should also be aware that temperatures may differ sharply between the capital, coastal areas and the south.
The forecast provides an estimate rather than a guarantee of the exact conditions in every neighbourhood. Local temperatures can vary depending on sunlight, wind and the built environment. Residents should follow updated guidance from the meteorological authority if conditions change during the day.
October often brings a gradual shift away from the intense summer heat, although warm afternoons remain common in Cairo. The expected drop in temperature at night offers some relief after the day’s warmth. For residents and visitors, checking the forecast before travelling can help make daily plans more comfortable.
