Around the world | Monsoon winds are at their peak and cause catastrophic floods and deaths in India
Weather of Arabia - Meteorological specialists at the “Arab Weather” Center said that the latest computer simulation outputs indicate that the monsoon winds in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal intensify significantly during this period, which is considered an important part of the climate system in the region, as it greatly affects the weather. Causing heavy rains in India and the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal.
Monsoon winds intensify in the Arabian Sea and affect India with severe rains and catastrophic floods
Weather forecasters said that monsoon winds are significantly intensifying over the Arabian Sea, leading to devastating effects on India. These winds enhance heavy rainfall, which causes catastrophic floods, leads to widespread destruction of infrastructure, and greatly affects the lives of residents, which requires an urgent response to confront the damage and provide assistance to those affected.
A huge tragedy occurred in the state of Kerala, where more than 90 people died and 400 people went missing after a landslide in Wayanad, and 4 villages disappeared due to these landslides due to floods.
India's monsoon floods and their association with monsoon winds
India is periodically affected every year by heavy thunderstorms in various parts of the country, which usually cause torrents and floods, especially in mountainous areas and valleys. These precipitations coincide with the beginning of the summer season and intensify in the months of July and August with the peak of the humid monsoon winds.
The main cause of these precipitations is the blowing of humid southwesterly winds known as monsoons. These humid winds soon reach the Indian coasts, where they begin to intensify and form rainy thunderclouds, supported by low atmospheric pressure values, making the coastal areas most affected by these thunderclouds that bring huge amounts of rain. Of rain, it gradually spreads towards the interior areas with the months of July and August.
Why does rain fall in the Gulf Mountains in summer and disappear from Jordan?
With the presence of the Indian monsoon depression, these winds meet with warm winds coming from mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and Zagros, which leads to the condensation of cumulus clouds and causes large rainfalls that may reach 300 mm within a few hours, and thus floods and torrents form in various regions, especially mountainous ones. Of which. The extent of wet wind saturation is linked to what is known as the Intertropical Separation (ITCZ), which is the peak of its flow towards those areas, which often occurs in August.
