Al Hussom Storm
Al Hussom Storm is one of the most severe storms to hit Alexandria. It occurs in the first half of March and lasts for seven days. It is named “Hussoum” in Arabic because the word refers to consecutive harsh days that cut off the good or bring intense cold. It is characterized by heavy lightning, thunder, and torrential rain, and is considered the last of the major rainstorms to strike the country in the winter.
