Extreme Weather

Extreme weather includes unexpected, unusual, and unpredictable severe and unseasonal weather; weather at the extremes of the historical distribution; the range that has been seen in the past.

Heat Waves/Dust Storms

Back in 2015, Egypt was hit with a huge and dangerous heat wave that they weren't really expecting. From this extreme heat wave that came, it caused a lot of wind to occur, blowing lots of dust around which caused a lot of dust storms. "The heat is being caused by a ridge of high pressure that is sitting over the region in advance of a trough of low pressure that is that is deepening across Europe... (Adam Douty)." The weather was ranging between 110 degrees F to 113 degrees F. The wind speed recorded was to hit at least 40 mph, which was causing the dust to impact all over the cities. Egypt is very well know when it comes to dust storms since of the extreme wind blown through the country. Sadly, there has been many deaths from the dust storms and as well from heat waves. A lot of people are rusted to the hospital because of breathing problems from the dust that has come into their city and homes. 

Thunderstorms/Rainfall

From what I found, there's not a ton of thunderstorms in Egypt, but this one they had did end up killed six people. Five died from a electrocution, from a cable that had fell from the severe rain that happened. The sixth person died from being trapped in his car, and he drowned when his car filled up with water. With not a lot of storms, the people were so shocked when huge sizes of hail came down from the sky.

Common Weather

Summer's are very dry and hot, with it being very humid. Egypt does have a lot of extreme weather, but not a lot of different kinds. They experience a lot of dust storms from what I could find. A lot of Egypt has tons of dust, and with their wind patterns it's just very likely for them to have so many dust storms. It's said that their winters have occasional rain, but it's usually just bright and sunny with very cold nights.

Mass Wasting Hazards

Mass Wasting is also known as slope movement or mass movement, is the geomorphic process by which soil, sand, regolith, and rock move downslope typically as a mass, largely under the force of gravity, but frequently affected by water and water content as in submarine environments and mudflows. 

Mass Wasting in Egypt

Mass wasting or better known as landslides is definitely a thing that happens in Egypt. A big landslide that happened was back in 2088 in Cairo, Egypt. I'm not sure how many were killed because two different websites say different numbers. But, the numbers range between 23 killed to 119. Boulders as much as 70 tons came sliding down to this neighborhood, flattening many homes people lived in. Hundreds of people were homeless, still living near the site even though the government said they would find them homes to live in. Anyway, there are a lot of flooding that happens in Egypt, which happens to form a lot of landslides/mass wasting. 

Prevention of Mass Wasting

For as many landslides Egypt has, they don't have any preventions that help them prepare for the hazard. So many people have been killed from just the 2008 mass wasting alone, they should have something to help with all the destruction. It is good that the government is willing to put up homes for everyone in Cairo. Even if they didn't want to leave their homes and wanted to be close. But, I still think that Egypt should come up with something to help with the mass wasting hazard just to keep everyone safe.
