Egypt is forecasted to experience warm weather leading up to Ramadan, commencing on March 1, with pleasant conditions expected to last until Tuesday. Following this, a slight cool-down is anticipated. The moderate temperatures are favorable for fasting, making this year’s Ramadan especially agreeable for the community.
CAIRO – February 28, 2025: The Egyptian meteorological forecast indicates a pleasant warming trend throughout the country as Ramadan approaches, set to commence on Saturday. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) anticipates that favorable weather conditions will persist across most regions until Tuesday, after which a slight temperature drop of 2-4 degrees Celsius is expected, leading to a chillier environment.
In the interim, residents of Greater Cairo, the Nile Delta, the North Coast, and northern Upper Egypt can relish the appealing weather. Areas in southern Upper Egypt and South Sinai, particularly the picturesque Sharm El Sheikh, will experience even warmer temperatures. Light rain may occur on Saturday along the North Coast, including cities such as Alexandria and Matrouh, along with the northern Nile Delta, with additional sprinkles predicted from Wednesday onward.
The forecast for Cairo and the Nile Delta reveals daytime highs hovering around 22°C and nighttime lows around 13°C through Tuesday. Similarly, the North Coast will see daytime highs of approximately 21°C and nighttime lows from 11°C to 13°C during the initial part of the week. In Upper Egypt, temperatures are expected to vary between 22°C and 26°C, while northern regions could experience lows of 10°C to 12°C. The southern areas may enjoy highs ranging from 26°C to 30°C with lows of 13°C to 14°C.
The weather during Ramadan, a time of fasting from dawn to sunset for Muslims, holds significant implications. Warm, summer-like days can lead to dehydration, whereas cooler temperatures may accelerate hunger. Therefore, the moderate weather anticipated this year is particularly favorable for the sacred month of Ramadan.
Ramadan is poised to begin on March 1 in Egypt, ushering in the traditional ambiance marked by Ramadan lanterns and a community rejoicing in the blessings of this holy month. The Dar Al-Ifta, the institution tasked with issuing religious decrees, is scheduled to observe the crescent moon for the holy month tonight after sunset.
In summary, Egypt is set to experience agreeable weather conditions ahead of Ramadan, with warmth expected to last until Tuesday before a notable cool-down. This season is crucial as mild temperatures can alleviate the challenges faced during fasting requirements. The joyous commencement of Ramadan on March 1 brings anticipation for traditional celebrations amidst favorable meteorological conditions.
