Middle East weather: Autumn transitions bring rain and temperature shifts

Various regions in the Middle East are experiencing transitional autumn weather characterized by temperature fluctuations and varying precipitation patterns.

In Egypt, the Meteorological Authority reports hot and humid conditions in the north and extreme heat in the south. Forecasts include potential thunderstorms and moderate rainfall along the northern coasts and the Nile Delta, alongside morning fog and wind activity that may stir dust. Maritime navigation may be disrupted in the Gulf of Suez and Aqaba due to high winds and waves.

Lebanon is seeing a relatively unstable autumn pattern with seasonal temperatures. Expect fog on highlands and scattered drizzle in mountainous areas, with conditions stabilizing toward the weekend.

Syria is experiencing moderate autumn temperatures, slightly below annual averages in most areas. While some regions may see scattered rain and thunderstorms, particularly in the northwest, others may face dusty conditions. Fog is expected on coastal highlands during early morning hours.
