The hurricane in the middle of the desert brings rain on the same day for five years

A hurricane in the world’s most recognizable desert region brought five years of rain in a single day. Hurricane Shakeen made history yesterday when it hit the ground between Al Masnah and al-Suwaik in Oman, about 80 kilometers west-northwest of the capital Muscat.
