Rare Event: Heavy Rains in the Sahara 

There are many anecdotal stories with scientific archaeology to back them up that the climate was warmer during the Roman period and that North Africa was the bread basket of the Roman empire. This video is very interesting and just shows the 'scientific consensus' really can not predict the future. But we can study the past.

Thank you for providing this great information. I like the global perspective of weather, it helps to get the bigger picture which influences the local weather 💚.

Lots of funny stuff is happening... A cyclone over the Black Sea (home-grown) is forming and the strangest part it's moving westwards which is unheard of... (all winds are moving from west to east)

Well that's alarming for the people living in the Sahara since the chance of flooding is going to be higher than normal.

3:09 thank you Weather Watcher. Your map has very well described the weather patterns so now I can see it all joining up. I love your description which makes it easy to understand. And this comment section is equally interesting. Thank you for the best weather channel on line.

Here in Central Scotland we could do with a bit of hot dry weather after a very soggy August - >200% of our normal August rainfall here means we are fed up with so many dull grey days and it’s noticeable how much less solar energy I’ve had from my solar panels in August 2024 compared to July and June and to August 2023.

Yeah I've been watching development in the Sahara and something definitely odd going on.

Hi! Long time, no see, WW! What with all the Saharan sand flowing west (my TX friends report their air quality is terrible!), clearly, this is the region to watch. Cheers from Poland!

It is common to believe that the last two hundred years of relative climate stability is something normal, but if we extend our gaze the climate looks far from stable, and we can trace human history through climate variability. Nations and empires have risen and fallen as rains have moved, lakes and rivers dried up, and agriculture failed, what is happening is not a new phenomenon. The current increase in rainfall across Africa, could be an anomaly, or it could be the return of a former pattern ? After all Africa once had a thriving river transport systems connecting the oceans with great lakes, food production was high, and great empires existed, ancient maps describe this as do ancient texts. The world wasn't connected in the instantaneous way it is now, so when climate shifts happened it was viewed as localised phenomena, and there were winners and losers, but we adapted, and will adapt again to climate variability. In the past societies would blame their gods, or neighbours, or in more advanced civilizations, the variabilities of the cosmos and the solar activity. But now because as Nietzsche said " we have killed God " , we blame human activity and Co2, ignoring that our own science tells us that the global average temperature was 20°c during the Carboniferous, and Co2 was 1500 ppm, where as now it's 12°C and 407 ppm Co2, life was abundant during the Carboniferous, so much so that the remnants of that life formed the carbon that fuelled the industrial Revolution, and lifted the majority of us out of poverty, so that we instead of subsisting, could try to understand the weather 😊

Living in Jacarilla,(Spain) It is cloudy today and seems to be cloudy all week! It has brought the temps down with it. I shall watch with interest to see if we get exceptional weather (it has been years since our last violent down pour). Thanks for the update!

Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative weather report. It will be very interesting to see how the precipitation effects the Sahara, especially the deluge that it may get. It tends to run off the land because it is so dry but with the amount expected it should have a a great impact on the area.

Many thanks for all your great and super presented weather info! Am very much looking forward to all your videos from my home, Namibia. Thanks once again!

It is really very interesting. Thanks for the update WeatherWatcher!

Thank you, i live in south east Morocco a part of the Sahara and these days we received heavy rains and people are wondering why ? Especially after several years of drought.

I usually know how to express myself.... "Man - this is gooood" - > in fact I'm speechless. 😂😂

So..that means Europe is going to have tropical storms in the future?

Fascinating as usual. Thank you.🙏

Perhaps an early end to the summer heat here in Catalunya and some much needed rain 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for the info

Hello from Finland 👋 i find WW's channel informative. Definitely gives us the bigger picture. This year, it feels like our summer has been longer than usual. A couple of foggy mornings we've had lately, but today, it felt if I would have been driving through ☁️ clouds. Planes were not able to land at the Helsinki airport. Anyway. Y'all have a nice afternoon

Thank you 👍

Could do with some rain in England, it's dryer than a fisherman's pouch in West Yorkshire, many days of rain amounting to less than half an inch. Reservoirs empty

Very interesting! Nice graphics, too.

Great information. Thank you - I have subscribed.

hoping for can extremely wet winter in Spain!

Hopefully there is a good amount of rain for south and eastern spain

It’s the start of meteorological autumn in a few days.

Since almost 40 years industrialization in north Africa constantly push hot climate mostly to north miditerranean sea area and transport i it to arctic region where we see more than normal melting of ice. Reason could be freed with artificial airconditionlng air, also by any not natural activities. which prevents/resists accumulation of sun energy in african ground. . It results in lowering temperatures in north Africa. lifts up temperatures in south Europe while wet equator air brakes in Sahara. .Opposite as result of the same should occur in south - As reported South pole is freezing already more than before . Scientist see only raports about CO2? .

Likely due to the Hadley cell migration further north. This will drag the itzc north as it's the moons pull doing the work.

Ground breaking video, helping all of us follow climate collapse as it happens.

Very interesting

We must looking do get the benfits from this rains... some areas able to agriculture activies

Interesting thank you

THANKS ❤❤❤❤

Is it natural?

Interesting!

very interesting

ITCZ is a byproduct of earths rotation.

Hello. New names. Vanrucks

Its called geo-engineering

❤❤❤

👍👍👍👍

To bad north African nations cant collect the rain water

speaking too slow

you aren't in Europe

After watching these videos, somehow, I feel knowledgable about the weather dynamics, even though I'm not even close to a meteorologist. I even go around at work and at my friends, and explain the winds, Sahara, jet streams to anybody who would listen. Very informative, thanks!

Ive seen that they are greening some of that desert. If continued what would happen to the weather?

German here. Seeing the greater context in which european weather takes place is immensely useful for general understanding of regional weather forecasts, especially long-term trends. We're currently experiencing a dry, warm and sunny late August, as was to be expected by the shift of a "high"-bulge in the Jet Stream from eastern to central Europe weeks ago. Your work and effort are appreciated!

More changes on the way.

Cool times, big changes, and an opportunity to learn new things about our beautiful planet. Thank you bro! I enjoyed the video and I like to learn new interesting things about our weather, climate, and science! Good job! 🫵👉👍👏🤝

I like most would look at the beautiful sky everyday and like most i can't help but notice about 15 to 20 aeroplanes dumping tons of chemicals into the sky everyday and that might be the reason why we had rain for 4 months here in Ireland and no summer.

Good one sir!

We live in interesting times... Cordialement...

Unusual thing are getting more usual! In Sweden I've noticed more of violent weather during the last half century. It takes a lot of change for it to be noticable! Climate change doesn't mean that it's getting warmer everywhere. It changes large whether patterns though.

I hope Greece sees more rain and snow this year, with this new phenomenon. It got very dry the last ~3 years.

I went outside at 9am, and it was like walking into a blast furnace, and that is in Germany.

Thank you, nice channel!

Yes, very intriguing and I’m looking forward to follow the development.

It has been thee wettest and overcast for the past 4 months I can remember in my lifetime here in Ireland

Thank you from Brittany France 🇫🇷. We get bad winds/storms coming in off the Atlantic, I dread them. I watch your updates with trepidation.

Wow that is very interesting. I saw on some facebook page that around September 9th there could be a medicane forming South of the Italian province of Calabria.

Fascinating stuff. I really love seeing you videos, thank you for studying what's going on around the world 😊

I live in Ayrshire, which is in Southwest Scotland. This Summer has been the wettest, cloudiest I ca remember in my own life of 41 Summers. From the first week of June to this day we have had less than half a dozen days of clear sunshine, in a 3 month period. Temperatures have also been far lower than usual for the time of year.

The strange weather above Africa can be caused by Morocco. There was a message in the Spanish media a few days ago that Morocco is doing cloud seeding. They do this because there is too little rain above the areas where it has been dry for too long and Morocco is suffering from this. This can have some strange consequences for the weather above Africa but also here in Spain.

💙💛

Fascinating. You sound like Michael Jackson.

Very intressting.. Thanks W.W you truly are professional.. 👍

Great channel thank you keep up the good work 👍🏻

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

What a hell...?

Goodmorning from the netherlands. As always youre good😊

So interesting thanks for sharing ❤

Thanks for the video! Just one comment: Your map is wrong as there is not separation line between Morocco and its Sahara. Cheers.

Interesting development in northern Africa and maybe Iberian peninsula. Thanks WW

Thank you for sharing much appreciated

Thank you so much, WW! Fascinating information, as always, and beautifully presented! Love your communication style! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and research! Keep up the great work you do! 🤗

Very interesting video. It shows how weather systems can affect large regions. Thanks for sharing.

Great info!!!! breath of fresh air.

Thunderstorms have just started developing in Algeria and Morocco

The hurricane season has been declining for decades... check out NOAA . Also the hurricane are also weaker...

I've read that the Amazon jungle depends on dust from the Sahara desert to replenish it's minerals.

Thank you so much Weather Watcher.

Someone suggested Air streams are changing therefore the Climate of North Africa is going back to Green

Correlations btw drier Amazon area and rainier Sahara?

Some recharging of the Saharan aquifers then?

The more sky juice in the desert, the better.

Awesome share

Thank you for keeping us informed! Greetings!

Thank you. As almays, top drawer info. Alrrady experiencing significant temperature variatins/swings here on Central Silver Coast.

warm north atlantic cold south atlantic. i read north atlantic have been record warm while equatorial atlantic had atlantic nina.

Here's a climate change scenario question for you. What would happen if this line you showed us on the map was to keep moving farther north every year, as the planet warms? Could the tropics move north too? Could that push desertification into southern Europe? As far as I understand it, Earths climate zones are largely decided by temperature. (local conditions can distort that of course.) So as the areas away from the equator warm, that should entice the tropics to expand northward, which should also mean the other climate zones could move north too. eventually you get warm enough that Greenland and the far north of Europe become Temperate climate zones.

Its not "rare event" our life time is just too short to see this. Every 12000 years whole planet shifts. Once green land becomes desrts. Or deserts becomes green. Sahara desert will become green again.

Saharah already means big desert. So Saharah Desert is a Pleonasm.

Será o próximo Outono 🍂 Inverno ❄️ diferente aqui na península Ibérica - 🇵🇹 Portugal ? Obrigado

We have actually had much less active hurricane seasons or at least the easterly arriving ones. It has been odd however how they have popped up directly in the Caribbean ?? I saw two developing in July and one developed fully through the Spice Island but overall the conveyor has been less for at least four or five years I have been watching. But I imagine this will alter again as the globe continues its own homeostasis.

Interesting, wonder if the sharp drop in the Atlantic sea surface temperature, has anything to do with it?

So if that ITCZ shifted, doesn't that mean that the Atlantic usually covered by it is now getting hotter and will contain more energy when the trade winds return to their usual path?

Are you asking me? You drawn it😮

This morning the sky above the midst of The Netherlands is extremely full with chemtrails. I think this is not a coincidence.

Locust plague then or just torrential rains?
