It’s been exactly 100 years since Egypt was covered in snow and it
happened again today! Some powerful images have surfaced from the event
which can be seen above and below.
Snow covered streets in Cairo for the first time in years following a severe cold snap that has swept the country.
According to the Meteorological Authority, the wave of bitter cold
in Egypt was caused by the ongoing storm of Alexa, coming from Siberia
across Eastern Europe.
Snow fell on Cairo, Beheira and St. Catherine in Sinai.
Wind speed in Beheira damaged some crops. Large amounts of water
were accumulated in the streets due to the inability of drainage to
discharge water.
Suez meanwhile was exposed to heavy rains on Friday morning, extending the closure of its ports.
Alexandria port authorities decided to continue closing ports
before navigation for the third day in a row due to bad weather and high
waves.
