Extreme heat and seasonal shifts in MENA
Overview
Weather patterns across North Africa and the Middle East continue to fluctuate between extreme heat and seasonal transitions. In Egypt, the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) continues to forecast warm daytime temperatures in the north and Greater Cairo, while southern Upper Egypt remains hot. As the country transitions toward winter, nighttime and early morning temperatures are expected to drop significantly. Heavy fog is forecasted on roads leading to northern areas, the Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt, potentially reducing visibility. Light to moderate rainfall remains possible for the northern coasts and northern Lower Egypt, with a minimal chance of light rain in southern Lower Egypt, Greater Cairo, and northern Upper Egypt. Increased wind activity is expected between November 1 and November 4.
In Palestine, conditions are expected to be partly to cloudy, with temperatures dropping below the annual average. While temperatures are expected to rise gradually to reach or exceed annual averages by early next week, nights and early mornings will remain cold. Authorities have warned of potential slippery road conditions due to rainfall.
In Yemen, coastal areas face hot daytime temperatures, while the Socotra Archipelago and western coastal plains may see scattered rainfall. Mountainous highlands are expected to be partly cloudy and moderate, with possible thunderstorms on western slopes and in parts of Hadramaut and Shabwah. Desert regions may experience active winds and sand or dust storms. Maritime warnings have been issued for the Bab al-Mandab strait and southwestern coasts due to sea disturbances.
In the Arabian Peninsula, Saudi Arabia faces intensified warnings from the National Center of Meteorology regarding thunderstorms, hail, and flash floods.
