Rain Expected in 22 Regions of Algeria
Listen to the story
Weather news is coming from Algeria. Twenty-two regions will get rain this week. The rain will come with thunderstorms. This means loud noise and flashes of light in the sky.
The rain will fall on Thursday and Friday. Some places may get up to 40 millimetres of rain. A millimetre is a very small unit. It helps us measure how much rain falls.
At the same time, other regions in the country will feel a heat wave. A heat wave means many hot days in a row. So some places will be wet and cool. Other places will be hot and dry.
People in the rainy areas should be careful. Thunderstorms can bring strong wind and flooding. People in the hot areas should drink water. They should stay out of the sun in the afternoon.
