A unique rainfall event is currently unfolding across the Sahara desert, one of the driest places on Earth. The amount of rainfall might not seem large by normal standards, but a large part of the Sahara will get well over 500% of normal monthly rainfall in September.

It’s not very often that the Sahara desert experiences these rainfall events. They are very rare, less than once per decade on average, but they are usually a sign that something is changing in the Earth’s weather system, indicating an unusual state of the Atmosphere as we head into Autumn and Winter.

I don’t know what to say to the future climate of the earth, as I watched on youtube Hainan was hit by super typhoon Yagi at 240 km/h, and currently over Hanoi at 200 km/h
