Warm Weather Expected in Egypt as Ramadan Approaches

Egypt will experience a warm spell prior to Ramadan, starting on March 1, with pleasant weather expected until Tuesday. However, temperatures will drop thereafter. Light rain is anticipated on Saturday along the North Coast, while the moderate climate is suitable for fasting during Ramadan.

Egyptian meteorologists anticipate a warm spell across the country as Ramadan approaches, starting Saturday. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has indicated that pleasant weather is expected to prevail in most regions until Tuesday. Following that, a drop in temperatures by 2-4 degrees Celsius is predicted, leading to a return of chillier conditions.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy the agreeable climate in Greater Cairo, the Nile Delta, the North Coast, and northern Upper Egypt. Southern Upper Egypt and South Sinai, particularly Sharm El Sheikh, will experience even warmer temperatures. Anticipate light rain on Saturday along the North Coast, affecting regions like Alexandria and Matrouh, with additional sprinkles forecasted for the northern areas starting Wednesday.

Until Tuesday, Cairo and the Nile Delta will experience highs around 22°C and lows of 13°C. The North Coast can expect highs of approximately 21°C and lows between 11-13°C during the early part of the week. Meanwhile, temperatures in Upper Egypt are projected to range from 22-26°C, with northern areas seeing lows of 10-12°C, while southern regions may enjoy highs of 26-30°C and lows of 13-14°C.

The weather during Ramadan, a time when Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, can significantly affect one’s experience. Mild temperatures provide an ideal environment for fasting compared to hot, summer days that may lead to discomfort. This year, Ramadan is anticipated to commence on March 1 in Egypt, coinciding with the festive atmosphere brought on by lanterns and the spirit of community engagement.

Dar Al-Ifta, the authoritative body responsible for issuing religious rulings, will observe the crescent moon to confirm the commencement of the holy month after sunset today.

In summary, Egypt is set to enjoy a warm and pleasant spell leading into Ramadan, with meteorologists forecasting agreeable weather until Tuesday, followed by cooler temperatures. This moderate climate is conducive for the fasting practices observed during Ramadan, commencing on March 1. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the favorable conditions before the return of chillier weather.
