Weather in Cairo

One of the better photos I have taken recently. The past few days in Egypt have seen weather unlike I have seen in near on 11 years in Cairo.

Torrential downpours. Dust storms with very limited visibilty. High winds.

Schools have been cancelled at short notice today.

Please note I am not a photographer.

Some of the unedited images.

I remember as the weather crept in a level of excitement and the positioning of the storm was perfect. My daughter and I watched for around 20 minutes as it rained, the winds picked up. Howling wind and lashing rain continued for around 40 minutes before the flash.

A short wait.

A crash.

The torrential downpour here in sunny Egypt. A far cry from the usual.

Any tips or feedback you have on the photographs welcomed. I rarely take photos and even more rarely share them.

Stay safe all

(I will add a pin location shortly- apologies community mods)
