Climate Change

Content: The average temperature is about 31.5 °C (88.7 °F) and in the higher elevations is about 5 °C (41 °F). The cold canary current that is present in the western part of the tropical region, leads to a change in the Sahara desert climatic conditions by lowering the average temperatures, reducing the amount of rainfall, and increasing the humidity and the occurrence of fogs. Climate Change
The climate in the Sahara desert has always been dry and arid. In fact, these are the exact terms that are synonymous with the Sahara desert climate. But did you know that 6000 years ago, there were certain areas in the Sahara that had abounding rainfall and rife vegetation? These were covered with tropical Savannah grasslands and lakes. All of which made human habitation possible. But due to climate changes in the climatic cycle, the grasslands changed to a desert. This process, known as desertification, made it impossible for humans to exist there. The only region that was inhabited by humans was the Nile valley.
