Floods Take Over Sahara Desert For First Time In Decades After Continuous Heavy Rainfalls



Heavy rainfall in the Sahara Desert has created large lakes amid sand dunes, drastically altering the barren landscape.

The region, known for its arid conditions, experienced floods for the first time in decades after intense rains hit southeast Morocco in September, CNN reports.

NASA data showed nearly 8 inches of rain in some areas, transforming the desert into a watery expanse.

Errachidia, a desert city in southeast Morocco, recorded almost 3 inches of rain, four times the area's usual monthly average. Houssine Youabeb from Morocco’s meteorology agency stated, “It’s been 30 to 50 years since we’ve had this much rain in such a short space of time.”

The town of Merzouga witnessed the most dramatic changes, where new lakes were etched into the sand dunes. The palm trees’ reflections now shimmer across the newly formed lagoons. In Iriqui National Park, dry lakes were also filled due to the deluge.

While much of the rain fell in remote areas, some towns and villages were affected, leading to deadly floods that killed over a dozen people last month. Satellite images showed large portions of the northwest Sahara covered in greenery, a rare sight in the world’s largest non-polar desert.

Experts link the unusual rainfall to climate change, warning of more extreme weather in the Sahara as global temperatures rise due to fossil fuel pollution.

The floods offer a stark example of how human activity can disrupt natural cycles, with more rainstorms potentially altering the desert’s ecosystem in the future.

U guess thats a blessing for people currently travelling through that route

Effects of climate change...

Sahara used to be a fertile area with lots of grassland, rivers, trees, and streams. And a lot of people lived there.

Some thousands of years ago, the area began drying up. As a result, a lot of people were displaced. Who knows, many west african tribes were forced to move towards the coast as a result.

It's an interesting bit of history.

Was it not climate change that turned it to a desert in the first place?

Flooding is different from rainfall....so those calling it blessing should think otherwise

I can't go into details now...

But yes it was climate change that transferred the area from a once lush area with green vegetation and wildlife to what it has become presently as one of the dryest places on earth.

It's worth nothing that morroco has been experiencing drought for about 6 years now before the recent rainfalls!

Prepare for a very cold December!

The climate change was obvious when the heat in Nigeria refused to recede in April and May.

God is just too merciful

Another prophecy has been fulfilled!

“When the chosen one becomes the leader of the most populous country in Africa, the deserts shall be flooded”

I think we all now can agree that His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is the chosen one!
