Weather of Arabia - Heavy rains that caused unprecedented floods forced tens of thousands of residents in Australia to evacuate their homes, while some went out to take cover on roofs after flood waters stormed their homes.

 

On Tuesday, authorities in the Australian state of New South Wales ordered the evacuation of more than 40,000 people from their homes, while warnings of the possibility of evacuating 300,000 others were issued due to the floods, which are the worst in decades.

 

The American "ABC" network stated that the authorities warned citizens not to flee to the rooftops, which could lead to their detention there due to the high water level, noting that more than 50 people were rescued who were stuck on a bridge after the roads leading to it were flooded.

 

And authorities expect the bad weather to continue this week as the "rain bomb" continues to head south along the Australian coast, in one of the worst environmental disasters that has so far killed nine people.

 

The Australian Meteorological Service has warned that strong thunderstorms and heavy rains are expected to lead to "sudden floods" that are likely to claim more lives, in a large part of the coastal region on the Pacific Ocean.

 

These are scenes of severe floods and some difficult rescue cases:

 

Arab weather clarifies the scientific reasons behind the historical floods in Australia

The climate in the Australian continent plays an important role in the extremes of weather. The northern regions of Australia are characterized as belonging to the hot and humid tropical climate. Specialists in the Arab Weather Center believe that the heavy rains in northern Western Australia, which caused the formation of floods, are scientifically due to the formation of a tropical depression in The Timor Sea has deepened as a result of the rise in the surface temperature of sea water to 30 degrees Celsius at the coasts, causing the formation of rain clouds of a tropical character, "that is, they are thick and laden with large amounts of rain."

 

According to the numerical computer outputs processed by the Air Operations Department, it is expected that more intense rain will occur, and its area will expand further by the end of the week as a result of the incursion of the depression towards the interior.
