A hurricane in the world’s most recognizable desert brought five years of rain in a year. Hurricane Shaheen made history yesterday when it hit the ground between Al Masouna and Al Suwaik in Oman, 80 kilometers west-northwest of the capital Muscat.

The tropical cyclone (which was a hurricane, and does not have this name in this region because it occurs outside the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific) weakened to the lowest intensity of Category 1 just before landing, but caused flooding in the middle of the desert.

The Omani capital, Muscat, received 369 mm of rain northwest of Al Khaboura, while Muscat itself received more than 200 mm, officials said.
