It’s Raining Heavy In The Desert

It is raining in the desert, and in some places, it is raining heavily. According to Bloomberg, Oman is to the south and west of Saudi Arabia. “Eighteen people are dead and more are missing as more than a year’s worth of rain fell on Oman in just days, causing widespread flash flooding.” Nearby Dubai also had the most rain in almost eight decades.

Climatecrisis247 believes this is another of the unexpected weather events caused by climate change. This includes the destruction of coral reefs by ocean temperatures as high as 100 degrees F., a sharp warming of the North Atlantic likely to cause massive hurricanes, and sweltering temperatures in Australia, which are well above the typical levels. These events will increase and worsen as little is done to reverse climate change and its effects.

It is just as bad in Dubai. The rainfall there is the greatest in 75 years. Most months, there is only one inch of rain, and temperatures can reach 110 degrees F some days—average rainfall for the year is around four inches. 

If these storms become more regular, the Middle East will be unprepared. The infrastructure changes to roads, buildings, and housing would cost billions of dollars. Additionally, as is true with any massive weather change, people’s lives and livelihoods are at risk.
