Friday Weather: Hot Air, Rain and Storms in the Same Day
Listen to the story
On Friday, the weather was very strange. In Greater Cairo, the air was very hot. But in other places, there were rain clouds.
The country had many different kinds of weather on the same day. There was rain in some places. There was thunder too. Thunder is a loud sound in the sky during a storm.
There was also fog in some areas. Fog is like a cloud on the ground. It is hard to see far when there is fog.
The temperature was high in many places. Temperature tells us how hot or cold it is.
Weather experts said the country saw many different weather conditions on this one day. This means rain, heat, fog, and thunder all happened together.
People needed to be careful. Hot weather and rain can both be difficult for daily life.
