Egypt on Friday and Saturday, February 18 and 19, was at the mercy of bad weather. The cyclone brought downpours and a sandstorm to the north of the country. It mainly covered the cities on the shores of the Gulf of Suez.
The last 2-3 days in Egypt there was a drop in temperature (in Cairo to +15 in the daytime), in some places there was precipitation. And in the east, in New Cairo, hail.
The storm also affected the tourist resorts. It rained last night in Hurghada. Because of the road washed out by rain flows in the Ras Gharib area, buses with tourists were deployed, who were traveling on excursion programs from Hurghada to Cairo. In South Sinai, in a place known to tourists as Mount St. Catherine, there was snow.
Today the weather has returned to normal. Clear sky over Hurghada, sunny, temperature +19 … +21 °С, +21 °С in the sea, moderate wind.
