The hottest place in the world- The Sahara dessert is currently experiencing massive snowfall in some parts, making it look like a modern wonder.
In an unusual event, the Sahara Desert received snowfall with temperatures of -2 ° C, making it look like a wonderland.
The incident was captured by photographer Karim Bouchetta in some picturesque scenes, with snow blankets covering an area that is close to the city of Ain Sierra in Algeria.
Temperatures in the region went below freezing, and according to reports, the mercury dropped to 2C (28F) in the southwestern region, making it the first time in half a century.
According to a Forbes report, this year is the fourth time the desert has seen snowfall, and only three rare incidents have occurred in the past 37 years. The last three snowfalls occurred in 1979,2016, and 2017.
The deserts covering half of North Africa have undergone various changes in temperature over the years due to climate change.
Meteorologist Jason Nichols stated, "A cold pool of air coupled with precipitation from a surface storm caused snow to fall in the form of rain. The same feature responsible for the snow on the Sahara brought heavy snow to the Alps earlier this week. "
However, this rare snowfall event cannot be attributed to climate change as extreme weather conditions may become a common phenomenon in the future, as well as climate change.
People across the world are mesmerized by this unusual event where the world's hottest place is currently experiencing a snowfall.
People are blaming climate change as the culprit behind this, and the occurrence reveals how these types of events are going to get extremely common in the future as the climate is continuously changing due to global warming.
Studies reveal that Sahara has gone by variations in moisture and temperature over the past few thousand years. Truly, even though Sahara's climate is too dry today, it is demanded to become greener in around 15,000 years.
