Sahara Desert Experiences Rare Flooding After Intense Rainfall, Forming Lakes Among Sand Dunes
Sahara Desert Experiences Rare Flooding After Intense Rainfall, Forming Lakes Among Sand Dunes. The Sahara Desert, one of the world’s driest regions, experienced rare flooding in September 2024 due to an intense two-day rainstorm.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Parts of southeast Morocco, including the desert city of Errachidia, received nearly 8 inches of rainfall in some areas, with Errachidia alone getting 3 inches—more than four times its typical monthly average. The sudden downpour created temporary lakes and transformed the arid landscape, with particularly stunning scenes in the desert town of Merzouga.
The rain also refilled dry lakes, such as those in Iriqui National Park, with satellite images revealing newly formed lakes throughout the northwestern Sahara. While the flooding brought some remarkable natural changes, it also caused deadly floods in nearby Moroccan towns and villages, claiming more than a dozen lives.
The unusual event is being linked to climate change, with experts suggesting that the warming planet could lead to more extreme weather events in the desert.

African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of orchestrating exorbitant billboard advertising fees for the 2027 elections in Abia State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Okonkwo criticized the Abia State Structure for Signage and Advertising Agency (ABSSAA) for imposing heavy levies of ₦200 million for presidential candidates and ₦150 million for governorship candidates to display campaign structures.
