Irekhodi lomhlaba lokuwela ugwadule lwaseSahara ngebhayisikili labekwa ngo-4 ngumuntu waseNgilandi owahamba ibanga elingamakhilomitha angu-2011 ngezinsuku ezingu-1, amahora angu-084 imizuzu emi-13 nemizuzwana engama-5. 50. Cishe amakhilomitha-skwele angu-14 omhlaba olimekayo uguqulwa ube ugwadule minyaka yonke ngenxa yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Ugwadule lusongela ukuba khona kwabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-5 emazweni angu-46, ngokusho kwe-UN. 000.

Ufudu lwasogwadule olukhulile lungaphila isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ngaphandle kwamanzi futhi lumelane namazinga okushisa angaphezu kuka-100 degrees Celsius.
