Egypt Witnesses Snow Fall For The First Time In More Than 100 Years

Cairo has been transformed into a winter wonderland
after a "historic" storm in the Middle East brought a
rare treat to Egypt's capital Friday: a blanket of
powdery, white snow.
Due to Cairo's low rate of precipitation and typically
above-freezing winter temperatures, snow is an
exceptionally unusual weather phenomenon for the
North African city. So unusual, in fact, that the Los
Angeles Times, citing local news reports, writes that
the last recorded snowfall in Cairo was more than
100 years ago.
Ali Abdelazim, an official at the city's meteorological
centre, confirmed to the Agence France-Presse this is
the "first time in very many years" that snow has
fallen in the Cairo area.
Excited Egytians took to social media Friday to share
photographs of the unusual meteorological event.
