How Sahara Desert will receive a rare & unexpected rainfall?

Have you ever wondered how it would be if it rained in the Sahara desert? The driest place on Earth?
A rare & unexpected rainfall event is about to unfold across the Sahara desert.
According to a recent study from ‘Severe Weather Europe’, a large part of the Sahara will get well over 500% of ‘normal rainfall’ in the months of August and September, 2024.
Such events are very rare, less than once per decade on average, but they often signal a potential shift in the Earth's weather system, suggesting an abnormal atmospheric condition.
Sahara is called the driest place on Earth because it receives ‘little to no’ annual precipitation.
It is the world’s largest and hottest desert, extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. (TOS: 9.2 million square kilometres).
On the contrary, just South of the Sahara is a region that is dense with green forest cover. This tropical belt along the Earth’s equator receives ample amount of rainfall because of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

The same thing has happened here in the far west of Rajasthan, the Thar. I'm 24 yo, and I've never seen the amount of rainfall as much as we received this year. It's probably due to the reasons same as mentioned for the Sahara.

Yes, you are right ✅️ and now it's happening in saudian deserts 🏜 next sahara ❤🎉

[@siddharthsinha2342]

I think the driest place on earth is the ATACAMA DESERT in Chile. Kindy cross check. Thanks

[@uf9927]

Well even that is not true either. Driest deserts are located at the poles.

Thank you for this explination.

ITCZ shifting northwards might be an early sign of AMOC collapse.

Sahara is not the driest place on earth. The driest place on earth is in the antarctic called the Dry valley. It is cold, yes, but there is no precipitation there, no ice or no snow. It's not rained there since 2 million years. Again. The hottest desert in the world is the Lut desert in Iran. in 2005 temperatures reached around 70 degrees C.

waiting for the rainfall

[@uf9927]

Well not true always It's a combination of ocean currents (hot to cold) and air currents. See sechura desert...

When people have no explanation for certain events, they use the term "paranormal phenomenon, GOD can do anything.
