Dense Morning Fog Forecast Across Egypt Until November 20th

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has warned of dense morning fog across several parts of Egypt through Friday, November 20th, 2026, with visibility potentially falling below 1,000 metres on some roads. The conditions are expected to be most severe between 2 AM and 10 AM.

Affected areas include the northern coast, Nile Delta, Greater Cairo, Canal cities, central Sinai and northern Upper Egypt. The authority warned that fog could become particularly dense in some locations, significantly reducing visibility on highways and urban roads.

Motorists have been advised to reduce their speed, use fog lights, maintain safe distances between vehicles and keep windscreens clear using wipers. Drivers are also encouraged to use their horns intermittently to alert other road users and avoid travelling altogether when visibility becomes extremely poor.

Beyond the fog, the EMA forecasts moderate to warm daytime temperatures across most of the country, with hotter conditions in southern Upper Egypt. Temperatures are expected to drop during the evening and early morning, bringing cool to cold conditions across several regions.

Light, intermittent rainfall is also possible in Halayeb and Shalateen, while Greater Cairo and the Nile Delta may experience occasional wind activity.
