Egypt Sees Early Rain as Autumn Weather Arrives
Listen to the story
Egypt's meteorological authority has reported new weather changes across the country, raising questions about the upcoming winter season.
According to the report, light rainfall was recorded today along Egypt's northern coasts. At the same time, Upper Egypt, the southern part of the country, experienced very high temperatures.
Forecasters say tomorrow's weather will feel like autumn, with rain of varying intensity expected in different areas. Not all regions will see the same amount of rain.
In the capital, Cairo, the highest temperature tomorrow is expected to reach 30 degrees Celsius, a sign of the mixed seasonal weather now affecting the country.
This combination of early rain and hot temperatures has led many to ask whether Egypt is preparing for a different kind of winter this year, possibly with more rainfall than usual.
While officials have not given a full forecast for the whole winter season, the early signs suggest changing weather patterns that may bring more rain to parts of the country in the coming months.
