Doomsday hail struck Egypt! ⚠️ The Hurghada resort is buried on the first day of the New Year!
On the first day of 2022, snow and hail fell on the Egyptian resort of Hurghada. Bad weather caused a lot of trouble for both locals and tourists. On the first day of the new year, the streets of Hurghada are covered with snow, accompanied by heavy rain that lasted for several hours. In addition to rain and snow, the resort was hit by hail, the size of a pigeon's egg. Bad weather made it difficult to move on the streets of the city because of the puddles and melted snow. Social network users posted a video with snow-covered streets of the resort, palm trees and lawns. As noted in the meteorological office of Egypt, the province of the Red Sea was at the mercy of the atmospheric front, which caused heavy torrential rains that occurred in most cities in the region. Weather conditions in Egypt began to change and fresh snow began to fall in many regions to prepare for the cold winter. As the roads are still blocked, many people are trapped by inclement weather. The snow started last night and lasted all day. Due to fresh snow, some expressways are prohibited in the area. At least 80 passengers were trapped in the area. Experts warn that due to the Ragnini effect, the temperature will drop to 3 degrees Celsius. The Meteorological Department predicted heavy rain, snow and thunderstorms, gusts of wind and lightning this week. This rare storm - the worst storm in over 30 years - has severely damaged roads in normally dry areas. Residents were surprised to find that after a snowfall in the city, they are experiencing a white winter. Many areas in the west were also affected. Egyptian Meteorological Service forecaster Lulamar Temat said the snowfall was caused by a very powerful weather system that forced cold air out of the South Atlantic. This causes the freezing level to reach the ground, turning the falling rain into snow. The combination of such a strong weather system is rather unusual. For such snow to fall to the ground, the weather system must be very powerful. This is not a common occurrence in mountainous areas. Earlier this week, someone warned that a very cold week could face. The low temperatures are caused by a series of cold fronts that are expected to sweep the southern half of the country.
