The General Meteorological Authority has officially declared the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring 2025, marking a significant meteorological transition. This announcement was made today, Thursday, March 20, coinciding with the spring equinox, the astronomical event where day and night have equal duration. This phenomenon officially signals the start of a new climatic phase that will last until the early summer months.

In its statement, the Authority emphasized that spring is a season of transition, characterized by sudden and unpredictable weather changes. As the country shifts from the cold and rainy winter to the hot and humid summer, significant temperature fluctuations, strong winds, and sudden rainfall are expected, potentially impacting daily life and various activities.

Temperature Drop Expected in the First Days of Spring

According to official meteorological forecasts, a noticeable drop in temperatures is expected today, a common phenomenon in early spring due to the lingering effects of cold air masses in the atmosphere. In Cairo, the maximum temperature is projected to reach only 21°C, bringing a distinct chill, particularly in the early morning and late evening hours.

Experts also predict light to moderate rainfall on the northeastern coasts, while lighter showers are expected on the northwestern coasts and in the northern Delta region. These brief but sudden downpours could temporarily affect transportation and outdoor activities.

Authorities advise residents to prepare for fluctuating temperatures by dressing appropriately and staying updated through official weather bulletins.

These conditions are likely to cause low visibility on roads, disruptions in maritime traffic, and a noticeable drop in temperature. Residents are urged to exercise caution, especially motorists and maritime workers.

Continuous Monitoring of Weather Changes and Safety Precautions

The Meteorological Authority has issued an urgent warning concerning potential instability in weather conditions, particularly in Alexandria and other coastal regions. This forecast includes unexpected rainfall, which may be accompanied by strong winds, potentially leading to disruptions in certain outdoor activities and transportation services.

Furthermore, the Authority has highlighted the likelihood of turbulent maritime conditions affecting the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez, and the Mediterranean Sea. The presence of strong winds in these regions could create hazardous conditions for maritime navigation, fishing operations, and offshore activities. As a result, sailors, fishermen, and those involved in marine-related professions are urged to exercise extreme caution and stay informed about the latest weather advisories before venturing out to sea.

In addition to maritime concerns, the Authority has noted that the intensification of wind speeds will significantly enhance the perception of cold, especially in open spaces and elevated areas. The drop in temperature, combined with gusty winds, may make the weather feel colder than the recorded temperatures suggest.

Official Recommendations and Public Safety Advisory

In light of these developments, the Meteorological Authority is strongly advising citizens to stay updated with daily weather reports and official bulletins issued by the relevant authorities. Given the unpredictability of spring weather, it is crucial to remain informed about any sudden changes that may impact travel plans, outdoor events, and daily routines.

The Authority also recommends the following precautionary measures to ensure public safety and minimize any potential inconveniences:

• For Commuters & Travelers: Those planning to travel, whether by road, air, or sea, should check weather updates beforehand to avoid disruptions or hazardous conditions caused by sudden storms or wind-related disturbances.
• For Farmers & Agricultural Workers: Given the fluctuating temperatures and occasional rainfall, farmers are encouraged to take appropriate steps to protect their crops from potential weather-related damage.
• For Coastal & Marine Activities: Individuals engaged in fishing, sailing, or other maritime activities should adhere to safety guidelines and avoid venturing into rough waters during periods of increased wind activity.
• For Residents in Affected Areas: Those living in regions prone to strong winds and sudden rainfall should secure loose outdoor items, dress warmly, and take necessary precautions when going outside, particularly during peak wind activity.
