Algeria is experiencing a stark weather contrast this weekend. Several regions are forecast to receive heavy rain and thunderstorms starting this afternoon and lasting until 6 PM on Friday. Following the storms, a significant heatwave is expected to descend upon various "wilayas" (provinces). This rapid shift poses challenges for residents. Authorities have issued weather alerts urging caution during the storms and preparation for the oncoming heat. The specific regions affected by both weather events were not detailed in this brief report. This fluctuation highlights the increasing volatility of weather patterns in the region.
