After the Tigris River .. a sharp drop in the water level of the Mississippi and stuck ships!

Arab weather - Sinan Khalaf - Natural phenomena related to climate change cast a shadow over the countries of the whole world, and the phenomenon of low river water is one of the striking and alarming phenomena. The water caused the closure of parts of the river, which negatively affected the maritime traffic.

Al-Ain Al-Eqtisadiah account stated that a cruise ship on the Vikings River heading north to the Mississippi River failed to finish its journey due to low water levels.

"The closures have caused delays that will prevent the Viking Mississippi from completing the current sailing and from arriving at St. Paul, Minnesota, at its next scheduled departure date of October 15," the statement added.

The ship isn't the only ship facing problems on the main US river. Under drought conditions, low water levels along the Mississippi River have forced several boats to aground over the past week, the US Coast Guard said.

The latest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report said nearly 53 percent of the lower 48 states in the United States are experiencing drought. Abnormal drought continues to develop and intensify from the plains across the Mississippi River Basin, and has now spread to the Midwest and Southeast.

Severe weather claimed lives and spoiled US travel plans this summer and fall, wildfires threatened Yosemite National Park, and Hurricane Ian affected tourist sites in hard-hit Florida and Carolina.

The situation of the Mississippi in other parts of the world happened this year as the Rhine, one of the most important trade routes in Europe, is a very popular cruise itinerary full of fairytale castles and stunning scenery. Those flights took a hit.
