Torrential Rains Flood Dubai: What Led to This Heavy Rainfall? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Heavy thunderstorms have lashed the United Arab Emirates, dumping the heaviest rain ever recorded in the country in the span of hours as it flooded out portions of major highways and Dubai’s international airport. Torrential rain flooded roads, homes and malls and briefly halted operations at Dubai's airport as storms lashed the Gulf, leaving at least 18 dead in Oman. The state-run WAM news agency called the rain “a historic weather event” that surpassed “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.” So, what led to this torrential rainfall? Was it climate change or something else? Palki Sharma tells you.

Dubai, the city is not designed for heavy rain, compared to Singapore, which rains almost every day
Wettest day in Dubai is right. I can still feel the pain of my almost 5 hours walk going back home. No metro, no taxi. Major roads, tunnels and under passes are flooded. Dubai terrain mostly flat and not all major roads have built in drainage as the region sparsely receiving rains annually now they should reconsider ramping up the city drainage system.

In such torrential thunderstorms, there was never once that the electricity go, nor the phone networks were affected! Plus the roads does not have a single pothole even after such drastic rains! Everyone are in their offices, the roads, malls & metros are operational in just a day’s time!! Plus they already have a system….how often do you get a year’s worth of rain in 24 hours! The quantity of water in just a short period is overwhelming for the sewage system they already have in place!

Not the result of climate change. It may be the result of El Nino. El Nino has already emerged and will continue (April-june). After El Nino, La Nina will emerge (June-August). Effect of El Nino: Sudden flood due to heavy rain or wildfires in some regions of the world. Effect of La Nina: Sudden snowfalls, blizzards due to heavy temperature fall in some regions of the world. Both El Nino and La Nina are natural phenomenons and appear every 2-7 years.
