The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has forecast a sharp decline in temperatures across Egypt beginning Tuesday, July 7, and lasting through Saturday, July 11.
The easing follows an intense heatwave that has gripped the country, pushing energy demand to seasonal peaks and straining infrastructure.
The EMA cautioned that while the overall trend is downward, localized weather patterns may still bring heavy rainfall to southern regions.

This shift in weather conditions is expected to reduce the immediate load on the national power grid, which has been operating under significant stress due to the prolonged high temperatures.
The weather development arrives as global markets digest mixed signals on energy supply.
Earlier today, OPEC+ announced an output increase of 188,000 barrels per day for August, citing easing shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz.
