Reports state the scorpions were washed into the streets and peoples’ homes, where they were seeking refuge from the intense weather conditions.

A representative from the Ministry of Health told local press that over 80 people are currently being treated at Aswan University Hospital, while hundreds of others are being treated in other hospitals nearby.

Locals have also raised concerns over the possibility of floods, as the typically dry area does not experience such heavy rainfall.

Aswan’s governor, Ashraf Attia, has placed restrictions on travel and traffic due to the low visibility levels caused by the extreme weather.

Videos shared on social media showed heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

Citizens have been urged to stay at home and avoid places where there are trees, as well as driving on motorways.

Schools in Aswan have also been ordered to close for students.

Egypt’s Meteorological Authority say they expect intermittent rainfall to continue in the coming days, as well as thunder, in many parts of south Sinai, and southern Egypt, including cities such as Minya, Assiut, Sohag, and Luxor.
