1. Why is this status happening?

Rare rainfall occurs in the Middle East, which has been experiencing drought and drought all year round at the same time

Kentucky, USA.

Japan Niigata Prefecture, Yamagata Prefecture and other places.

Parts of Liaoning, China

There are also extreme rainfalls.

Rare or extreme precipitation occurred in many places around the world at the same time

What is the reason?

The subtropical high pressure belt "breaks" the monsoon and moves northward, causing precipitation in the United Arab Emirates hundreds of times more than the same period

UAE media said that in the past period, the rainfall in some areas of the UAE far exceeded the same period in history, which was the largest rainfall in 30 years. This heavy rain has the greatest impact on places such as Fujairah, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates. Days of heavy rain have caused urban waterlogging and flash floods in many places. The Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, known as the "largest oil hub in the Middle East" It was once forced to close down.

Property damage caused by waterlogging

On July 28, 2022 local time, in the Emirate of Fujairah, the United Arab Emirates, the local area encountered heavy rains, and floods formed after the heavy rains flooded the streets.

It is understood that heavy rains in the Middle East often affect countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, causing rivers to overflow, houses to be flooded, and roads and bridges to be damaged in many places in Iran. Floods and landslides caused by heavy rains occur every year, affecting many villages in the country, causing casualties and property damage.

Meteorological data shows that on July 27, 2022 local time, the precipitation at Fujairah International Airport, a local site in the eastern United Arab Emirates, was 168 millimeters, while the precipitation at this site during the same period in previous years was about 0.2 millimeters. The UAE has a tropical desert climate, with drought and little rainfall throughout the year. Most of the rainfall occurs from January to February every winter. This time, extreme rainfall not only occurred in summer, but was hundreds of times higher than the same period in history, which is very rare.

Property damage caused by waterlogging

Before late July, the subtropical high-pressure belt controlled the Arabian Peninsula. However, around the end of the month, the North Africa-Iran high-pressure belt weakened and broke. The Somali cross-equatorial air flow was transported northward on the western side of the Indian Ocean and formed a cyclonic circulation near the Arabian Peninsula, bringing pressure to the Arabian Peninsula. The sky over the peninsula provides better water vapor conditions. "Due to the high temperatures in the Middle East in the early stage, the atmosphere was in an unstable environment of high temperature and high humidity. The cold air brought by the eastward movement of the cold trough near the Caspian Sea provided corresponding triggering conditions for the occurrence of severe convective weather. The superposition of various factors led to Heavy rainfall occurred in the United Arab Emirates, Iran and other places.

Is it normal for extreme rainfall in the Middle East in summer? At the same time in previous years, under the control of strong subtropical high pressure, water vapor in the Middle East was blocked from moving northward. However, in the summer of 2022, the subtropical high pressure belt was overall stronger. Due to the periodic adjustment and swing, a rupture appeared over the Middle East, which led to this breakthrough in the historical extreme. Part of the cause of precipitation is relatively rare, but it occurs frequently between 2022 and April 2024.

UAE floods in April.2024

In the past month or so, in many countries in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe, due to accelerated melting of ice and snow and heavy rains, river water levels have reached record highs. Severe spring floods lasted for a long time, some of which lasted for more than a month. People's houses, factories and farms were flooded, causing heavy losses.

Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have a desert climate that is hot and dry all year round. The government is doing everything possible to desalinize water for the people. Urban construction rarely considers flood prevention, which is greatly affected.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates. On the evening of April 16, local time, rainfall in Dubai reached 6.26 inches (approximately 159 mm). The city’s average annual rainfall is 3.14 inches. The amount of rainfall in one day is the average of two years in previous years, which shows how much damage has been done to the economy.

In Orenburg, Russia, the water level of the Ural River in the city reached 1,147 centimeters on April 12, and the government is evacuating residents from flooded areas on a large scale. The highest water level in history is the warning level of 930 centimeters.

Orenburg floods

In Kazakhstan, as of April 18, spring floods and large areas of ice and snow melt have caused floods in many places in the north, east and west. As of April 18, five people have died and nearly 118,000 people have been evacuated. Nearly 7,000 residential buildings of various types were flooded, and more than 60 villages were inaccessible to traffic.

2. How to solve waterlogging emergency?

During heavy rain disasters, defects in the drainage system have become the focus of attention, revealing a huge business opportunity - the fire emergency drainage robot market. With the intensification of global climate change, experts predict that the frequency and intensity of rainfall in the Middle East and eastern Europe may gradually increase, which brings huge development opportunities to the fire emergency drainage robot industry. Data from authoritative organizations show that the fire emergency drainage robot industry market will show a rapid growth trend in the next few years, especially in the Middle East. This market has attracted global attention.

Property damage caused by waterlogging

The drainage emergency equipment market in the Middle East has attracted much attention not only because of its potential commercial value, but also because of the determination and investment of local governments in improving infrastructure construction. Take the United Arab Emirates as an example. The country has invested heavily in infrastructure construction in recent years, and drainage system construction and renovation projects have emerged one after another. The signing of a series of large-scale contracts with a total value of billions of dollars has injected strong impetus into the local drainage system construction market. At the same time, other Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia are also increasing investment in infrastructure construction and actively promoting the development of the drainage system construction market. These countries realize that a complete drainage system is crucial to the normal operation of cities and the quality of life of residents. Therefore, they have introduced relevant policies to encourage domestic and foreign enterprises to participate in the construction of drainage systems and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the market.

In addition to the investment from the government and enterprises, all sectors of society have also begun to pay attention to this market. Environmental organizations and research institutions have carried out relevant studies and put forward a series of suggestions and programs to improve the drainage system. They hope to help Middle Eastern countries solve drainage problems and achieve sustainable development through scientific methods and means. The participation of these organizations not only injects new vitality into the market, but also provides more ideas and innovative directions for drainage system construction.

However, how can the already built urban infrastructure be demolished and rebuilt so easily? Amid such considerations, more and more customers are turning their attention to China, seeking in-depth cooperation with Shandong Guoxing, a leader in special robots in the fire protection industry.
