@MrOGZ Clearly her name should be translated as "Clara" considering her design and temperament is basically the same as the girl who wants to capture Iruma's heart.

I know the Ancient Egyptians believed that dry thunder were the cries of Set, the God of earthly chaos, desert, storms, and foreigners, so Astraphobia has been a thing for awhile in Egypt's history.
I can only imagine what they thought when it snows as it does once every hundred-ish years...
from 2013
Also, I'd imagine cynophobia is more common in Arab and Islamic countries considering there's some hadiths that indicate Muhammad was a cat person with a strong dislike of dogs...

Nothing in Egyptian texts other than mentions by a few Pharoahs, namely Ramses II. But the Greeks believed Khione the River Nile's nymph cast snow upon desert after she was raped by a local peasant. Either way it was considered dangerous.
Which ironically remains to this day, as we have no infrastructure or plans to deal with snow, rare as it is. Hell, if it rains too hard they just close roads outright.
In the mainland, at least. In Sinai snow is not uncommon, most recently in January:
Also I do remember Muhammad was a shepherd for a time, and had herding and/or hunting dogs. But regardless of that, you'd be surprised how many arabs and muslims own pet dogs nowadays.
Not even guard dogs, just for plain fun.
2018 stats say there were 3 million+ pet dogs in Egypt. On the other hand, it mentions 5 million+ pet cats, so I guess cats do win eventually.
If you're interested in more about dogs and muslims, this article provides a nice enough summary of the situation:
