The country’s rain during the month of January broke the highest recorded rainfall in the country, according to the National Meteorological Center.
The center revealed to "WAM" the registration of the area of the snout of the formation of a new record at the level of rain precipitation, as it recorded rain precipitation of 194.6 during the period from 9 to 12 January, exceeding that number recorded since 1996 in Khor Fakkan by 144 mm.
The center revealed the implementation of 22 sorties to pollinate the clouds since the beginning of January that would contribute to increasing the rainfall rates from the polluted cumulus clouds by a rate ranging between 10 to 15 percent.
The center has an advanced monitoring network consisting of 91 stations spread over the entire area of the country and monitors rain, temperatures, wind speed, humidity and other indicators that through reading and analyzing the preparation of integrated weather bulletins on the weather conditions in the country.
In view of the importance of monitoring and tracking the rain falling on the country, the center's meteorological network was strengthened by adding a specialized rain-monitoring network numbering only 20 stations, in order to improve the study on rain distribution, in addition to the presence of 7 other surface monitoring stations in the country's airports.
The cumulative rain data is collected daily for each monitoring station, then it is collected at the end of the month and the rate is calculated, and then it is collected from each year, and then the total sum is divided by the number of years, and therefore the monthly rate is extracted.
The surface and upper air maps are analyzed and studied on a daily basis, and the latest monitoring of different weather conditions is monitored. The numerical program outputs that simulate weather forecasts and forecasts are then studied.
Forecasters discuss the results of the analysis and comparison to produce the general content of the weather in the coming days, and the comparison and analysis of monitoring reports and analyzed maps with numerical models continue during the prediction period for correction if necessary, and it is known that the upper air depressions help in the occurrence of unstable weather conditions, especially With the presence of moist air masses, which helps in the formation of clouds and their development with precipitation, as well as monitoring and forecasting various weather phenomena, including the formation of fog and dust and sandstorms.
Regarding weather-related warnings, the center indicated that warnings are issued through various means, including social media platforms, the official website of the center, and the application of mobile phones, and through traditional means of communication to the public, official bodies, the press and contracting parties.
In the case of high-impact weather fluctuations, the Center issues special reports well in advance of their occurrence, in order to take the necessary precautions by decision-makers and the public to mitigate the impact of these fluctuations, for example tropical cyclones, thunderstorms and strong winds. Follow-up reports are also issued to the situation whenever It took.
The accuracy of weather forecasts and forecasts issued by the National Meteorological Center exceeds the average of 90 percent, according to studies and performance measurement indicators conducted by the center, where advanced infrastructure and modern scientific technical devices available in addition to the creative human energies have reached this advanced result according to international standards.
The center is responsible for collecting weather data, monitoring and analyzing changes occurring in the atmosphere, and providing weather forecast services in its main areas, general, marine, and aviation.
