As a result of heavy rains, real lakes have formed in the middle of the barren Sahara landscape.

Heavy rains flooded the deserts of North Africa. In particular, the small village of Merzouga, located in southeastern Morocco, was affected. The corresponding video was published by Channel4News a day before, October 8.

After heavy rains, real lakes form in the middle of the barren landscape.

Deserts traditionally receive less rainfall: the average rainfall in the Sahara is about 45 liters per square meter per year.

At the same time, according to official data, in early September alone, 99 liters of rain per square meter fell in some areas of the Sahara.

“We have not seen this amount of rain in such a short period of time for 30 to 50 years,” said Hussine Youabeb of Morocco’s General Meteorological Office.

Experts suggest that the rain will replenish the groundwater reserves that supply the desert communities.

We remind you that snow fell in South Africa on September 21. In some places the snowdrift reached up to two meters.

It was also earlier reported that temperatures dropped and snow fell in the Sahara Desert.
