In several provinces of Oman, heavy rains accompanied by strong winds and hail occurred in the first decade of March. The meteorological report indicates that the amount of precipitation reached 5.91 inches, while the average monthly rainfall in Oman in March does not exceed 0.59 inches. This led to river and stream overflow, causing extensive flooding.
Hamoud bin Muhammad Al-Mandhari, the coordinator of the shelter and relief sector at the National Committee for Emergency Situations, stated that shelters are ready to be provided to those affected by the abnormal rains and floods in the country.
The civil aviation activated a mobile broadcasting system for warnings about dangerous weather conditions that will affect the Sultanate of Oman until Sunday. Abdullah bin Rashid Al-Haduri, the Director-General of the Meteorological Services of Civil Aviation, mentioned that this system activation is happening for the first time. Warnings will be sent in multiple languages before and during hazardous weather conditions in the affected provinces.
He added that activating such mobile alerts contributes to raising awareness among residents of the affected provinces and taking necessary measures to ensure their safety. In the northern provinces of the country, the likelihood of heavy rains and strong winds persists until the end of the week.
The reason for such intense precipitation worldwide is attributed to the record ocean warming observed in 2023, which has catastrophic consequences for the climate. The warmer the ocean, the more moisture evaporates into the atmosphere, leading to increased rainfall and, consequently, a rise in the number of floods.
In addition to this, there is another alarming trend: rains are no longer evenly distributed across the territory. In some regions, they occur locally and within a short period, while in others, there is a sharp deficit in precipitation. This indicates chaos and imbalance in atmospheric processes worldwide. The detailed explanation of the occurring phenomena was provided at the "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" forum.
