After its news came out on the platforms.. Arab weather reveals the scientific reason behind the floods in Pakistan

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Weather of Arabia -</strong> News of floods in <strong>Pakistan</strong> has topped many platforms recently, despite the fact that floods occur annually in Pakistan, but this year the floods were more deadly in the country and led to loss of life and property in many areas since the beginning of last July, and through this report, Arab Weather will reveal about The scientific reasons behind the recent floods.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Monsoons and depressions are the cause of heavy rains</strong></span></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Pakistan is affected periodically every year by heavy thunderstorms in its various parts, which usually cause torrential rains and floods, especially in mountainous areas and valleys.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The main reason for these precipitations is the blowing of humid southwesterly winds or the so-called <strong>&quot;monsoon&quot;</strong> . These humid winds soon reach the coasts of Pakistan until they begin to intensify and rain thunderclouds form supported by low surface atmospheric pressure values, so that coastal areas in particular have the greatest share of being affected by these thunder clouds Which brings huge amounts of rain, and the tropical clouds gradually deepen towards the interior with the months of July and August.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> With the presence of India&#39;s seasonal depression, these winds meet with the warm winds coming from the mountain ranges such as Himalaya and Zagros, and convective clouds intensify, which leads to large precipitation of nearly 300 mm barrier within a few hours, and thus floods and torrential rains are formed in various areas, especially mountainous ones. The extent of saturation of wet winds is related to what is known as the tropical interval or ITCZ, which is the peak of its flow towards those areas, which is mostly in the current month of August.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> But this year, in the Arab Regional Weather Center, we noticed a change in the shape of the weather systems and an increase in the amount of rain in Pakistan, especially in July, when the country was affected by the extension of air depressions originating from India, which brought large amounts of rain towards several areas of Pakistan, in addition to the blowing of the humid monsoons. In the normal situation as we explained above.</p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></h2><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Is that a harbinger of climate change?</strong></span></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Despite the weather extremes that occur this summer in the countries of South Asia, it cannot be described as climate change, as some years in the countries of the world witness climatic cycles that cause changes to the weather, but they usually last for a long time, but if the occurrence of such weather extremes is repeated In future years, this can be described as climate change.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> God knows.<br /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Read also: <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B6%D8%A7%D9%86%... floods wreak havoc... and warnings of a widening disaster</a></strong></p>
