🇳🇪 |⛈ The Sahara Desert is one of the driest places on Earth. However, by the end of September 2024, significant portions of this area are expected to receive rainfall exceeding the typical monthly amount by more than 500% due to a rare weather anomaly.

🔍Comparison of Copernicus Sentinel-2 images taken over Tanout, Niger on September 14, 2023, and September 8, 2024, illustrates the effects of such increased rainfall in the Sahara. The images show a noticeable expansion of green areas, indicating significant vegetation growth following unusually heavy rains.

‼️ Data from Copernicus and Sentinel satellites play a crucial role in understanding global climate changes.
