Flooding and strong winds predicted to hit Egypt tomorrow

Sunday 16 Jan 2011

Weather forecasters warn that the recent bad weather will worsen tomorrow, culminating in thunder and floods

Egyptian forecasters have warned of worsening weather tomorrow, with heavy showers expected to be accompanied by wind, lightening and thunder.

Floods in the governorates of North and South Sinai and Northern Upper Egypt are also predicted. In previous years these governorates suffered the most as floods destroyed homes and injured many.

In Cairo, rain since Saturday has already caused the streets, which lack a suffient drainage system,  to turn into lakes. Broken down cars turned already congested traffic into a nightmare.
