In Africa and the Middle East, after half a century, the temperature dropped to below freezing, and the desert was covered in white with snow.

According to the British Daily Mail on the 17th (local time), on the 13th, the temperature of Ainsefra, a desert village in Algeria, Africa dropped to -3 degrees Celsius, and white snow piled up in the Sahara Desert.

In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia’s Asir region, the desert village was covered with snow as the temperature dropped to a minimum of 2 degrees Celsius during this month.

It is unusual to see snow in the deserts of Africa and the Middle East. Even if it snows a little during the night when the temperature drops, it melts early on bright days. However, the landscape unfolded this month is analyzed as the effect of lowering the temperature as the cold high pressure moves over the land and into the desert.

Algeria, after 40 years of snowfall in 2017 and 2018, continued this year. This is the first time in Saudi Arabia in 50 years.
