Pick a ceremony date inside the 14-day forecast for Cairo and read it as a wedding day: the Weather Score, rain probability and amount, sustained wind and gusts, heat and evening cool-down, plus sunset, golden hour and blue hour for photographs in Cairo's timezone. Beyond 14 days the page makes no weather claim; the month-by-month daylight table shows how late natural light lasts in any month.
Any weather decision in Cairo starts from the light budget. In September the location gets about 12 h 9 min of daylight, with the sun peaking 60° above the horizon — that sets how warm afternoons run, how long outdoor plans stay viable and how much usable photographic light the day contains. The scores above layer the live Open-Meteo forecast on top of that baseline.

Scores are capped by dealbreakers — heavy rain, dangerous wind, thick fog or hazardous UV pull a day down no matter how pleasant the rest of the numbers look. Forecast data is Open-Meteo; solar and lunar values are computed for Cairo's own coordinates and time zone. Full details on the methodology page.
