(迪拜17日综合电)西亚沙漠地带近日罕见下暴雨,阿曼就因为暴雨出现洪灾,酿成至少18人死亡,接着邻国阿联酋也降暴雨,导致多地道路淹水,第二大商业城市迪拜在12小时下足2年份的雨量,也是自1949年有纪录以来最大降雨量。迪拜国际机场也因过度密集的雨势,导致机场区域淹水。
从周日开始,阿曼即遭受猛烈的雷电、暴雨和强风袭击,导致阿曼北部和东部多个地区出现山洪,造成至少18人死,多是学童。
阿曼教育部周日关闭多数地区的学校,以防洪水再次来袭,多条道路也因此封闭。阿曼空军出动直升机协助救援受困的数十民众。
暴雨周一晚间开始波及周边其他海湾国家,包括巴林和阿联酋。阿联酋自周一晚暴雨就下个不停。第二大商业城市迪拜周二持续风雨交加。
迪拜属于沙漠干燥气候,突如其来的暴雨,造成市区道路多处淹成汪洋一片,也有民众苦中作乐,在淹大水的停车场划起橡皮艇。当局派出油罐车在街道和高速公路上抽走积水。阿联酋各地学校周一起全面停课,政府机构员工也以远距方式在家办公。阿联酋各地的一些公园和海滩于周二起关闭。
逾50航班停驶或取消
据外媒报导,迪拜每年平均降雨量约为3.14英吋,但过去12小时以来,当地却降下6.26英吋的暴雨,几乎将2年份的雨量一口气释放,才因此造成灾情。
暴雨同样冲击迪拜国际机场,这座全球第二忙碌的航空枢纽,因为过度密集的雨势,导致机场区域淹水,跑道和停机坪的客机,其引擎距离水面只剩下不到1公尺;机场只能紧急关闭半小时,进行内部整理和排水,并在事后声明中提到,这场暴雨让机场所有连外道路,几乎全部都陷入淹水停摆状态,逾50航班停驶或取消。
雨势来太快,加上道路排水系统无法负荷突然这么大的雨量,让许多地方的低洼地段快速淹水,许多驾驶被迫弃车逃离;而从当地居民的影片,还能看到商场外出现“人造瀑布”的景象。
气象单位表示,此次突降暴雨的主要成因,与一个穿过阿拉伯半岛的暴风系统有关,该系统是阿曼南部与伊朗东南部地区降雨的主要原因。
阿联酋当局警告,这场雨势会持续到周三,同时须慎防强烈对流下出现暴雨与冰雹灾情。
