COMIC: Temps are predicted to hit 106 in Egypt this week. How do people stay cool?

My dad, who lives in Cairo, instructed me the warmth this summer time has been punishing.

I requested how scorching it was. He mentioned 39 levels.

“What’s that in Fahrenheit?” I puzzled.

He mentioned “Sizzling!”

I appeared it up. It is 102. And subsequent week’s forecast: a excessive of 106.

Within the ’90s, after I was in elementary college, I would 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’m wondering: How are Egyptians getting by?
