Egypt is set to see light to medium rainfall on Tuesday, Mahmoud Shahin, the head of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority's forecast centre announced, days after the country saw its worst weather forecasts in over thirty years.

Shahin said during a phone call with privately run TV channel Extra News that temperatures would drop around 4 degrees Celsius starting tomorrow, with the forecast not expected to have any impact on roads. 

Tuesday’s forecasts come days after Egypt was hit with a wave of unprecedented weather over the weekend, killing at least 20 people nationwide. 

Egypt saw widespread flooding caused by heavy rain across large swathes on Thursday and Friday, with the cabinet describing the weather as “exceptional and unprecedented.”

It has not seen such conditions for 35 to 40 years, it added, as Egypt announced last Thursday a day off for all state employees and ordered the shut down of schools and universities ahead of the beginning of the unstable wave on Thursday. 

Around EGP 100 million ($6.3 million) were allocated by the government to compensate those who were affected by the inclement weather, including owners of crops and livestocks, cover losses and rebuild homes nationwide.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the recent crisis has underscored the need to restructure the country's crumbling sewage and drainage systems to deal with the exceptional conditions in light of climate change.
