It is worth mentioning that, various parts of Cairo and other governorates witnessed last Thursday a spell of unstable weather, including heavy rains, thunder, and lighting.

This unstable wave led to severe changes in the weather of the country starting from Thursday, till Saturday.

Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli announced on Friday that about 20 people passed away across Egypt due to the bad weather, stressing that Egypt had not witnessed such unstable weather conditions for nearly 35 or 40 years.

While heading the Crisis Management Chamber at the headquarters of the Information and Decision Support Center, Madbouli said that a number of measures have been taken, most notably “stopping the movement of trains and the metro on (Thursday), especially after the train accident that occurred in order to preserve the lives of citizens.”

He added: “We need to re-plan some of the drainage networks to absorb the water resulting from such exceptional circumstances, especially with the current climate changes in Egypt.”

Moreover, he thanked all workers in various state apparatuses for the great effort in dealing with these exceptional climatic conditions.
