Floods in desert lands, heat wave in Bengal with fog
In the desert countries of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, it's often said that it doesn't rain. However, both of these countries recently experienced record rainfall and devastating floods. Last Tuesday, from the roads to the airports, everything was submerged in water. In various cities of these two wealthy nations, expensive cars were seen submerged in the flow of water. The UAE's Meteorological Department states that such a quantity of rainfall hasn't been seen in the past 75 years. Now the question arises: why did such sudden rainfall occur in these desert countries? While some experts attribute it to cloud seeding, others blame La Niña. On the one hand, intense heatwaves are prevailing in South Asia, especially in West Bengal of India and Bangladesh, while on the other hand, thick fog has been descending in many districts of this region in the past few days. Many attributes, this unusual weather behavior to the influence of La Niña. However, there is no doubt among experts worldwide that climate change is responsible for this abnormal behavior of weather in the region of Middle East and Bengal.
