My dad, who lives in Cairo, informed me the warmth this summer time has been punishing.
I requested how scorching it was. He stated 39 levels.
“What’s that in Fahrenheit?” I questioned.
He stated “Scorching!”
I appeared it up. It is 102. And subsequent week’s forecast: a excessive of 106.
Within the ’90s, once I was in elementary college, I might spend my summers with my dad. Again then, air conditioners weren’t as ubiquitous as they’re now. It was scorching, however I coped. On this age of utmost warmth, i ponder: How are Egyptians getting by?
