Over the past 24 hours a graphic has gone viral on social media – especially Facebook – featuring news attributed to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) claiming that Egypt would experience its coldest winter in 30 years.
In a televised interview with local media, a member of the media center of the EMA, Manar Ghanem denied the rumor that the upcoming winter would be exceptionally cold and emphasized that the EMA has never said as such.
“We have four months ahead of us before we can make any forecasts for this year’s winter,” she said.
Ghanem explained that the coming winter will be similar to previous years, but due to climate change, may see an increase in rainfall and some gradual temperature shifts for certain weather conditions.
