Weather observatories in a number of Arab countries have warned of a wave of bad weather in the coming period.
In Egypt, the government warned Egyptians in the northern Delta governorates of a wave of bad weather and the possibility of flooding and appealed to citizens to “reduce traffic congestion in the streets, to give local authorities an opportunity to deal with these weather conditions.”
Yesterday, a number of Egyptian governorates witnessed a wave of bad weather and heavy and moderate rain, which affected the movement of cars, and the streets were empty of pedestrians, while the security services lifted the state of emergency on the highways in anticipation of any accidents.
Meteorological experts in Egypt expected that, on Friday, low and medium clouds would increase over the north of the country, accompanied by rain falling on the northern coasts and areas of Lower Egypt, Cairo and Sinai, and may extend to northern Upper Egypt and south to the cities of Halayeb and Shalatin, which would be heavy and thundery at times over areas. From the north of the country, it reaches the point of flooding in areas of Sinai.
In Algeria, weather observatories warned of a severe heat wave that will include a number of southern states, starting on Friday, and may reach 49 degrees Celsius.
