October weather forecast
Egypt

October in Egypt represents a continuation of the transition from the sweltering summer to the more temperate autumn. The month witnesses further reductions in temperature across the country, contributing to a more pleasant climate that many associate with the Egyptian autumn season.

Cairo, along with other northern regions and the Mediterranean coast, welcomes the respite from summer's extreme heat. In Cairo, average low temperatures settle around 18.3°C (64.9°F), while average high temperatures decrease to 30.6°C (87.1°F). The moderating influence of the Mediterranean Sea brings even cooler temperatures to the coastal areas than the inland regions.

October sees a further slight increase in rainfall, especially along the Mediterranean coast. Cities like Alexandria observe a rise in humidity levels, indicative of the moist conditions that autumn brings. This shift away from the arid conditions of summer is much welcomed by both locals and tourists.

The Sinai Peninsula's high-altitude areas, such as Mount Catherine, remain free of frost and snowfall. However, southern cities, including Aswan and Luxor, experience additional reductions in peak daytime temperatures, which now reach up to 36.7°C (98.1°F), a pleasant drop from the summer extremes.

Seawater temperatures in October continue to be amenable for seaside activities. On the Red Sea coast, at popular destinations like Sharm El Sheikh, seawater temperatures vary between 25.6°C (78.1°F) and 27.2°C (81°F). The Mediterranean Sea, near Alexandria, showcases cooler seawater temperatures, ranging from 23.3°C (73.9°F) to 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Compared to September, October exhibits more significant reductions in temperatures and increased humidity, marking a comfortable departure from the dry and hot summer months. The following month, November, ushers in the beginning of the mild winter season, with further decreases in temperature and an increase in precipitation.
