After seven years of drought, nature is becoming more colourful in Morocco. The heavy rainfall of the last few weeks has given farmers hope again. In a few figures, it fell 121 millimetres of rain between September and January, double a year ago. The dams are now filled to 65%, they were only 28% before. Some regions are reviving, as is the case of Guelmim, in the south of the country, the "door of the Sahara".
