For almost a week, Algeria is going through an intense cold snap. Indeed, the temperatures displayed do not exceed 10° in the majority of the northern wilayas or the wilayas of the highlands. In fact, the Algerians were impatiently awaiting the arrival of winter and the winter atmosphere. All the more so after the heat wave that hit the country in summer.
Moreover, the lack of rains recorded during the past two months has bothered the citizens so much. But also the authorities of the country, in view of the repercussions caused. Especially in the agricultural sector. Although it arrived a little late compared to previous years, the winter atmosphere was there. Indeed, for nearly a week, the inhabitants of several wilayas of Algeria have been treated to magnificent moments.
And this, during the heavy snowfall. In particular, in Sétif, Jijel, Constantine and Batna. As a result, several roads have been closed by the responsible services because of the difficulty of traffic. However, that hasn’t stopped snow lovers from enjoying these moments. Thus, many of them went to Chréa (Blida), Djebel El Ouahch (Constantine). Or even Tikjda (Bouira).
The wilayas of the Sahara were not spared by the snow
Dressed in white, the high mountains of Algeria have fascinated more than one! To everyone’s surprise, snowflakes also fell in the wilayas of the Algerian Sahara, in a rare phenomenon! This Tuesday morning, white snowflakes mixed with grains of golden sand in the wilaya of Béchar.
Thus forming a landscape, to say the least wonderful! Moreover, it is the same for the wilaya of Naama. Remember that the region of Béchar has already experienced this phenomenon. And this, for almost 11 years. Or in 2012. On social networks, these formidable landscapes were massively relayed by Internet users. For the curious, we leave you some images of the wilaya of Naama, below.
