Heavy Rain Wreak Havoc Across the UAE, Scientists Suspect El Nino Effect | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Heavy rains and thunderstorms swept through the United Arab Emirates, forcing schools and many offices to be shut down. Parts of Dubai were flooded and several flights were cancelled. It comes just two weeks after the Gulf country saw record rainfall. Scientists suspect that the excessive rainfall could have been caused due to the El Nino conditions prevalent in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. They point out that many past episodes of record-breaking rainfall have occurred during El Nino years. El Nino is the warmer than normal phase of the El Nino Southern Oscillation phenomenon that occurs in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and is generally responsible for heavier than usual rainfall in West Asia, especially during March and April.
