Will it snow in the desert? The first snow in 37 years in the Sahara Desert
The Sahara desert is one of the driest and hottest regions in the world. But in 2016, a small town in Algeria’s Sahara Desert experienced its first snow in 37 years, and the red dunes unexpectedly turned white.
A local photographer photographed the Sahara in a white coat. He said that everyone was shocked to see the snow in the desert. Because it’s very rare for the local people. It took about a day for the snow to melt. The last snow was in February 1979.
