Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - Orbital depression that affected and still affects the Sultanate of Oman, did not rise in its classification from a regular orbital depression, and did not even reach the level of a tropical storm, except that its effects exceeded all expectations, as it carried a flood of rain that exceeded those brought by strong hurricanes Sultanate of Oman in previous years.

 

The tropical depression brought with it more rains than Hurricane Juno to the Sultanate!

 

And to the extreme strangeness, the monitoring station in Mirbat “Jabal Samhan” recorded historical amounts of rain, which reached 1055 mm in only 5 days, which is higher than the amount recorded by Jabal Al-Asfar in Al-Taein during the period of the impact of Hurricane Juno, which amounted to 1016 mm in two days.

 

 

What happened to Salalah within 5 days is equivalent to what happened to Riyadh in 10 years!

 

To the extreme strangeness, the amount of rain recorded in Jabal Samhan in Salalah during the past 5 days since the beginning of the impact of the tropical depression, which amounted to 1055 mm, is equivalent to what falls on the Saudi capital, Riyadh, during the whole 10 years, where the annual rate of rain in the capital Riyadh is approximately 102 mm.
