The Sahara Desert ecoregion, as defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), includes the hyper-arid center of the Sahara, between 18° and 30° N. It is one of several desert and xeric shrubland ecoregions that cover the northern portion of the African continent. The Sahara Desert is the world's largest hot, non-polar desert and is located in North Africa. It stretches from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. The vast desert encompasses several ecologically distinct regions.

The sky has turned dark and the sun a deep orange because of Storm Ophelia. All over England, the sky looked as if it was in the middle of a sandstorm. If it resembled something you'd expect to see in the Sahara Desert, that's because it was. The sand and dust had been carried over from southern Europe and Africa by recent bizarre weather, and as it swirled around it turned the sky dark. We’ll tell you what’s true.

The desert town of Ain Sefra is surrounded by unexpected snow which is several inches deep. It is the third time the town's red dunes have been blanketed in the white stuff in 38 years. Last January saw a metre of snow coat the world's hottest desert, with a sprinkling of flakes falling in December 2016. Prior to that, snow had not been in Ain Sefra since February 18, 1979, when they had a flurry which lasted just 30 minutes. Snow started falling in the early hours of Sunday morning and quickly began settling on the sand.

If I say ‘desert’ and you do not conjure up images of scorching sun and hot sand dunes for miles and miles, then there’s probably something wrong with you. But be ready to have your perception changed because due to another one of nature’s in explicable phenomena, snow has fallen over the biggest desert of them all-The Sahara desert! As a result of a freak winter storm, parts of the Sahara desert in the small town of Ain Sefra, Algeria, have received more than a foot thick snow fall!
