Have you ever seen a flood in a desert?
The Taklimakan Desert, one of the world's driest places, has recently witnessed unprecedented rainfall along its southern rim, which triggered flash flooding and forced the temporary closure of the Turpan-Hotan Highway. From 20:00 on June 19 to 20:00 on June 20, Hotan National Meteorological Station recorded 64.7 mm of rain in a single day β shattering its all-time record. That one-day total alone exceeded Hotan's average annual rainfall of 48.1 mm, meaning this extremely arid region got more rain in 24 hours than it typically sees in a whole year.
Meteorological experts explained this rare downpour is shaped by dual water vapor channels and unique terrain. Moisture from the Arabian Sea traveled across Pakistan, India and Xizang to reach southern Xinjiang, while an easterly cold airflow surrounding the Lake Baikal cold vortex carried additional water vapor into the Tarim Basin. The convergence of the two moist air masses, boosted by the topographic uplift of the Tianshan and Kunlun Mountains, triggered the intense localized rainstorm. Rainwater rapidly converged in mountainous areas and overlapped with snowmelt, further amplifying flooding conditions.
Can the downpours bring the desolate desert into thriving oases?
Floods might be a rare scene in the barren Taklimakan. Yet, this desert has been quietly turning greener bit by bit for years.
As we've covered before, the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program β often called China's Great Green Wall β has driven large-scale desertification control across Xinjiang and northern China for more than 40 years.
The project has driven the planting of over 70 million mu of trees, or roughly 46,700 square kilometers, across wind- and sand-stricken areas of Xinjiang β nearly three times the area of Beijing, or seven times that of Shanghai. Over the past 30 years, Xinjiang's artificial oases have grown from 65,000 to 100,000 square kilometers, a 54% increase. And the battle against desertification never stops.
@AAlex30Bg@highchart Pls can you give one example of the structure of Nigerian government that makes every problem directed at the president ? You can make reference to history for clarity.
@Updateboyx Even those that come from a place they arenβt proud of will have a say about Lagos. Let the criticism be clear or donβt criticize at all.
