Below-average heat in Cairo is now as newsworthy as a heatwave. That is the shift.
Manar Ghanem, a member of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority's (EMA) media center, stated that the weather during Eid al-Adha will be stable and spring-like.
While Egypt's pilgrims and families prepare for Eid al-Adha without the usual scorching heat, this rare meteorological mercy offers a stark reminder of how climate volatility has become the new normal across the Sahel and North Africa. The 30-32°C reprieve in Cairo, cooler than typical for this sacred season, underscores how even religious calendars now bend to the unpredictable rhythms of a changing climate that African nations are forced to navigate despite contributing least to the crisis.
