BHUTAN HIT by Flash Flood — Hot Springs Damaged, Visitors Evacuated

Описание: A historic series of severe storms pounded northern Oman starting Monday, October 26, 2026, unleashing torrential rain, hail, and strong winds across the desert country. Driven by a low-pressure trough pulling warm, moist air over the Al Hajar Mountains, the persistent downpours turned dry valleys into violent rushing rivers and repeatedly flooded coastal towns along Al Batinah.

The severe weather triggered rapid runoff and flash flooding that inundated regional wadis, damaged local infrastructure, and forced authorities to issue continuous weather warnings. Rainfall totals reached up to 2.4 inches in areas like Al Rustaq, prompting widespread safety advisories to keep residents away from hazardous mountain roads and swollen river beds.

In this video, viewers will see rare footage of flash floods tearing through northern Oman, severe hail in Wadi Al Jizzi, flooded desert valleys, and the mountainous weather systems driving the storms.

Confirmed casualty and missing-person figures are pinned in the comments and updated as official numbers change.
