October 17 , 2024 19 hrs 0 min 13 0
  • A rare downpour has occurred in Sahara Desert, one of the world's most dry and arid regions.
  • This rare extreme weather came after two days of continuous rainfall in the southeastern Morocco region of the North African desert.
  • The ultimate influence of the event was the filling of Lake Iriqui.
  • This lake had been dry since 1925, a period of 50 years.
  • With over 9 million km2 of territory, the Sahara Desert is at increased risk due to extreme weather associated with global warming.
