Scientifically: Learn about the causes of torrential rains and floods that occurred in Kuwait today, Sunday 02/01/2022

Arab weather - During the movement of the air depression from west to east, a cold air front was formed, which directly affected Kuwait at dawn and this morning, Sunday, as a rainy band and a train of rainy thunder clouds rushed towards large parts of the country.

Where in the presence of an active and effective cold air front and the leakage of humid and warm winds from the Arabian Gulf towards the airspace of Kuwait, this raised the momentum of the weather situation and increased its strength, to activate the rising air currents, and the density of cumulus clouds intensifies and becomes at high altitudes, causing large amounts of rain to fall in a circumstance short time frame.

Looking at the vertical characteristic of the atmosphere this morning (weather balloon), it is clear that there is great saturation in the atmosphere, up to a height of 32,000 feet above the surface of the earth, and the flow of warm southeast winds near the surface of the earth, where water vapor is the fuel that triggers precipitation.

It is clear from the balloon data that there is a high shear wind speed, and the same winds are an important factor in the formation of deep storms due to a change in the location of the descending winds from the rising ones, and thus helps to reduce the burden of lifting the weight of water with the rising winds, which increases the intensity and strength of the storm.

In the end, no matter how many reasons and explanations there are, we pray to God to give us rain and not make us despondent.
