Dr. Mohamed Ali Fahim, head of the Climate Information Center at the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, stated that today marks the last day of the Coptic month of Amshir (30 Amshir 1741).
He added that with the end of Amshir, weather conditions begin to improve, giving way to the month of Baramhat, known in ancient Egypt as the season of growth, during which the Nile flood recedes and crops flourish.
Fahim explained that this year, Amshir borrowed the extreme cold of Touba at night, as the previous month deceived plants and trees into believing it was a mild and warm Touba.
Many historical accounts suggest that Amshir is associated with the storm god "Mentu." A popular proverb describes it as "Amshir, the one with the big drum, bringing storms and strong winds."
