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.
@@J123Tilley The northern part of Algeria, which was known as kingdom of Numidia two thousand years ago before the Roman invasion, has long been a fertile agricultural region. Even today, it remains green and full of agriculture, with forests that have existed for millennia. However, desertification continues to increase and poses a growing threat to the vegetation and ecosystem in northern Algeria. The Sahara or desert represent a big part of northern African Countries but not all.
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!
and it's lasting. Even now the high pressure in middle and northern Europe is present in mid September. And there are lots of thunderstorms in southern Algeria, a usually very dry area.
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!
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)
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.
Anyhow, we should be grateful that, that are raindrops falling down from the sky💧🌧️...🙏 Instead of 👉 💣...🤷 Collect rain in barrels, could be good to use when it's dry... Blessings 🙏🕊️🌟
@@helengren9349 in this part of the UK I think the last drought I can remember (and there was only water rationing because a new pipeline to the village was being installed even then) was back in 1964……….. water supply here isn’t an issue even in the driest summers, unlike further south in the UK where there are often hose pipe bans in dry summers and out on some of the low lying Hebridean Islands off the west coast of Scotland.
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 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.
This comes with healthy dose of pontential wrong impression from my (geography entuziast) view Green area should be able to "keep" more rain going more inwards desert in general. Having large areas of dry, hot air areas usually creates scenario where rain simply can't "rain" anymore at some point inland even if air still contain some amount of moisture (it still can get deeper but more like "morning fog" - lot of remaining plants use this as primary survival method). With green areas allowing water to get more deeper, it is possible to get green area (that can get enough water to actually start to cover larger patches of ground) deeper and thus creating this positive feedback loop. There is good reason why naturally Sahara can be either full desert (in general) or full savanna just from this loop cycle.
@@elmurcis1 but what happens to the rains heading towards the atlantic do they instead get diverted inwards if the Sahara turns more and more green? Would it cause a change in weather pattern and moisture
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!
Yes. Lisbon is cooler too, more humid and very cloudy. Last week the local weather service predicted temps over 30C. Now, the new predictions are mid-high 20's Celsius. We sure could do with some rain now.
25 years ago I was around Gibraltar Strait and was surprised by heavy rains and storm which wet (a bit) flor in reataurant in my hotel - it is not only today
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!
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 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.
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.
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 WW. Living in the south of Spain. We did not have a lot of rain this summer. I hope we get some rain from the Sahara storm . I will follow your next prognosis with interest.
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
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.
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 😊
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.
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.
It's weird seeing this from the future, there was rain in the Sahara and then Spain had flash floods. Big hurricanes in the US tho, but two out of three ain't bad
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.
Interesting question. If that was to occur, it would take a very long time for the terrain to drastically change. After all, if you go back 6,000+ years, the Sahara used to be lush and filled with lakes. Obviously, that has changed, as hundreds and thousands of years have passed with a very dry climate.
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? .
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?
Hm, interesting thought! It depends, when you look at an SST map, the waters are always very warm regardless in the tropical Atlantic… so even if the ITCZ took a break from parts of this area, I’m not too sure how much of an effect it’s having.
Yes, lots of rain occurred across the Sahara resulting in otherworldly sights and even a noticeable northward shift in greenery along the Sahel. Plus, fatalities were reported in association with severe floods.
There is nothing that "collapses" the climate has changed since the earliest times of the earth, sometimes it goes quickly, other times slowly, this time it is perhaps man who is contributing to the change, other times something else is the cause. Don't exaggerate! Fearmonger!
That’s a little far away, but model guidance has been fairly consistent with a cooler/wetter airmass descending over the area around that time. Lots can change between now and then, but I’d thought I would give you an early heads up on that! 🙂
@@WeatherWatcher14 - Not a biologist either but I understand that locusts are an almost direct product of rain (and unusual aboundance) in the desert. But they may be more common towards the Nile, never heard of them in the western desert (yet) but I remember them crossing the Mediterranean Sea to Cyprus a decade ago or more. I'm also concerned about Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf anyhow, last year or so there were unusual rains too and they were complaining about how that made their life very miserable. Your map suggests that's also the area where most rain is expected to happen.

Hm, interesting thought! It depends, when you look at an SST map, the waters are always very warm regardless in the tropical Atlantic… so even if the ITCZ took a break from parts of this area, I’m not too sure how much of an effect it’s having.
Interesting, wonder if the sharp drop in the Atlantic sea surface temperature, has anything to do with it?
Perhaps!
Now at October 12, how did it pan out? Did the model prediction matched reality?
Yes, lots of rain occurred across the Sahara resulting in otherworldly sights and even a noticeable northward shift in greenery along the Sahel. Plus, fatalities were reported in association with severe floods.
Correlations btw drier Amazon area and rainier Sahara?

Ground breaking video, helping all of us follow climate collapse as it happens.
There is nothing that "collapses" the climate has changed since the earliest times of the earth, sometimes it goes quickly, other times slowly, this time it is perhaps man who is contributing to the change, other times something else is the cause.
Don't exaggerate!
Fearmonger!
Thank you!
Some recharging of the Saharan aquifers then?
❤❤❤
The hurricane season has been declining for decades... check out NOAA . Also the hurricane are also weaker...
If you would be so kind. What's your current prediction for rhone alp region in france 7 to 14 of sept as I'm there cycling
That’s a little far away, but model guidance has been fairly consistent with a cooler/wetter airmass descending over the area around that time. Lots can change between now and then, but I’d thought I would give you an early heads up on that! 🙂
@WeatherWatcher14 yes that seems consistent with what I'm seeing so far , let's hope it changes 🤦♂️ thank you
@@JK-wl5bx You’re welcome!
👍👍👍👍
Será o próximo Outono 🍂 Inverno ❄️ diferente aqui na península Ibérica - 🇵🇹 Portugal ? Obrigado
Possibly, I’m hoping for a wetter winter. I’ll be taking a deep dive into the weather model info for the autumn and winter soon… stay tuned!

If the magnetic north pole is moving shouldn't the equator move as well?
I don’t think so, since the equator is relative to the rotational north and south poles, not the magnetic poles.
@@WeatherWatcher14 Thank you
warm north atlantic cold south atlantic. i read north atlantic have been record warm while equatorial atlantic had atlantic nina.
@@sebastjanhomar-m6e correct!
This has happened before, I have seen rain in the Sahara, and others have reported it often, as well as hail and snow, over many years.
On a local scale, yes. But we’re seeing a significant and potentially historic event
Saharah already means big desert. So Saharah Desert is a Pleonasm.
Thank you!
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Its called geo-engineering
Locust plague then or just torrential rains?
Lots of rain for sure, but I don’t know enough about locusts to know how they would be affected. :)
@@WeatherWatcher14 - Not a biologist either but I understand that locusts are an almost direct product of rain (and unusual aboundance) in the desert. But they may be more common towards the Nile, never heard of them in the western desert (yet) but I remember them crossing the Mediterranean Sea to Cyprus a decade ago or more.
I'm also concerned about Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf anyhow, last year or so there were unusual rains too and they were complaining about how that made their life very miserable. Your map suggests that's also the area where most rain is expected to happen.
