Total proof that those rare outlier events can and do happen. If I posted a "which is more likely" thread with "snow in Cairo" being one of the options before this happened, I bet no one would have voted for it!

Yeah, but that event would be more probable than LA seeing 100F on christmas.

L.A has had recorded upper 90s in December. I bet there is suburban weather station that has recorded 100 in its microclimate in December during the Santa Ana winds. It may be about as common as snow in Cairo, very rare but not impossible.
Can't believe a hot city like Kuwait has these temps in the upcoming days:
16°7°
14°7°
15°5°
16°5°
16°5°
14°6°
15°6°
Thought Kuwait had a warm winter.
I lived in Kuwait for 10 years. Those temperatures are fairly normal for December and January (mean is around 18/7 in January, so a few degrees above or below this range for a week is normal). What is more unusual is frost in urban areas. Frost in the open desert is a fairly regular occurence from December through February. Snow has not been recorded since records began, although flurries were observed in the north of the country on January 13, 1998. I remember that date because I remember reading it in the newspaper. On some fall and winter nights, there can be a 10 degree difference between urban and desert lows.
In the summertime, average minima are 30 C in the desert and 35 C in the city. Highs are around 45-47 C in both areas.
