Iferhounène

Iferhounene (

The town and most of the villages surrounding it are nestled south of the Djurdjura Mountains, boasting a rugged landscape with lush valleys, olive groves and steep cliffs. The Oued Sebaou originates from and flows through the district.

Road Network & External Connections

The district contains a single national road (RN-15) passing through it, and 2 local roads W-253 and W-7. Though, there are many smaller roads and dirt tracks forming a dense road network.

Climate

The region experiences a Mountainous-Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. The region enjoys abundant sunshine throughout the year, with average temperatures ranging from 5°C (41°F) in winter to 40°C (103°F) in summer.

Precipitation primarily occurs between November and March, with snow mainly falling and accumulating in the months of January, February and March.

Road closures^[3] are common in winter months due to snow accumulation, and the fact that the two main roads passing through the region are mountain passes.

Snowy mountains can be observed until mid-spring, and the Djurdjura Mountains provide chilly weather up until the second half of June.

There has been a sharp decline in precipitation and a rise in temperatures^[4] in the later 2010s and early 2020s due to climate change^[5], as evident of it being in one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.
