In a dramatic turn of events, Egypt has experienced a sudden change in weather, bringing an end to the scorching heatwave that had gripped the country. According to reports from تحيا مصر, the country’s capital, Cairo, witnessed a significant drop in temperatures on Tuesday, May 27, as a new spring-like weather pattern moved in.
Dramatic Change in Capital’s Weather
The sudden change in weather has brought much-needed relief to the population, with temperatures in Cairo dropping to 31 degrees Celsius, down from 42 degrees just 24 hours earlier. This 11-degree drop in temperature is a welcome respite from the heatwave that had been plaguing the city. تحيا مصر reports that this dramatic change in weather is a clear indication that the heatwave has come to an end, and a more moderate climate has begun.
Temperatures Drop Across Most Regions

Wind and Weather Warnings
The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has issued warnings of strong winds, gusting up to 44 km/h, particularly on desert roads and open areas. These winds may cause sand and dust storms, reducing visibility. In addition, the Authority has warned of rough seas in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez, with wave heights reaching up to 4 meters and wind speeds of up to 70 km/h. These conditions pose a threat to shipping and maritime activities.

Stability Ahead, But With Caution
According to تحيا مصر, the coming days are expected to bring a measure of stability to the weather, with temperatures remaining at moderate levels.

The spring-like weather is expected to persist until the beginning of next week.
As reported by تحيا مصر, this change in weather has brought welcome relief to the population, and it is hoped that this more moderate climate will persist in the coming days.
