Details of the impact on Egypt of an exceptionally warm spell for the month of November

In detail, starting from Thursday, November 20, 2025, Egypt will be affected by an air mass with temperatures much higher than usual. Therefore, temperatures will rise to be about 4-6 degrees Celsius higher than average for this time of year. The weather will be warm during the daytime and tend to be hot during the afternoon and evening, with the maximum reaching about 30-31 degrees Celsius in Cairo.

During the night hours, i.e., Thursday/Friday night, the weather will be less cold compared to previous nights, and the weather will be pleasant in various regions, God willing. It will tend to be cold in the late night and early morning hours, with an increase in surface humidity levels, God willing.

Temperatures will rise further, reaching the mid-30s Celsius in these areas, including parts of Cairo. This will be 9-11 degrees Celsius higher than expected, resulting in relatively hot and dry weather across the country. Maximum temperatures during this period are likely to be the highest recorded for November in Egypt in several years, according to climate records.
