The United Nations World Meteorological Agency (WMO) said on Monday that floods related to heavy rainfall and glacier floods were constantly increasing. Its results are proven to be extremely deadly for the community in this sudden flood without any previous warnings.
“Flash floods are not new, but due to unplanned urbanization, land use and climate change, the frequency and severity of the flood is now increasing in many cases,” says WMO Hydrology, Water and Water and Direction Director Stepan Uhlanbrook.
When each additional one degree silosis increases the temperature, the atmosphere may accumulate about 7 percent more water vapor in itself.
He said, “The risk of excess rainfall is increasing from this situation. Also, slurry threats for melting ice due to warm climate are increasing.”
Thousands of deaths every year
Every year thousands of people die of floods and accidental floods and dollars of billions of dollars.
In 2021, more than 6 and a half people died and recorded $ 1 billion in severe floods in various regions of South Asia.
Two years later in 2022, more than 5.75 people were killed in the catastrophic floods of Pakistan, more than 1.5 million were damaged and more than $ 1 billion were affected, which caused the loss of progress in growing development over the years.
This year did not stop this year. Only in July, one by one in South Asia, East Asia and the United States, severe floods were observed – heavy rainfall, some glaciers exploded and suddenly catastrophic accidental floods.
The monsoon continues in Asia
Due to heavy rainfall in India and Pakistan, the transport system was stalled, houses were washed away and landslides occurred in many places.
Emergency has been declared in the most affected region of Pakistan and military helicopters have been deployed for relief and rescue operations after serious flood warning at the top of the Jhilam River.
South Korea recorded record -bracking rainfall between 16 and 20 July, where the rainfall rate in some regions reached more than 115 mm per hour. At least 18 people died in this disaster and more than 13 thousand people had to move to safe places.
Just a day after Hong Kong’s typhoon vafa, a sudden flood and landslide warning were issued in southern China. Uninterrupted storm has made the growing risk more clear in this region.
Flood cast over overnight taxus
Suddenly rains in the night of July 3 to 4 converted the taxus hill region into destruction, out of which more than 100 people lost their lives and many people were missing.
Within a few hours 10-18 inches (25-46 cm) the rain sank the Gwadlap River and the river water level reached 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes.
Most of the victims were the girls who came to live in the summer camp and suddenly fell into the flood around four in the morning.
Although the US National Meteorological Service has already issued a warning, the local siren system was defeated and the final alert was issued when most people were sleeping deeply.
Increase the incidence of floods due to dazzling breakdown
All the floods that came this month were not just because of the rain.
July July, some hydropower plants, a large bridge and several trade routes were suddenly washed from the lake of a glacier on a glacier surface of Rasua district in Nepal.
At least 5 people were killed in this horrible incident, and many people were still missing.
Scientists at the International Center (ICIMOD) for integrated heel development in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in the Hindukush-Himalayan region, have now come up with this national flood two decades ago every five to ten years.
Only during May and June of June 2025, Nepal, Afghanistan and Pakistan recorded three floods related to the glacier explosion and two more incidents occurred in Nepal in July in July.
Scientists believe that if global temperatures rise at this speed, the threat of such floods may increase three times by the end of this century.
Warning system needs to be filled with errors
WMO (World Meteorological Agency) is now accelerating its global efforts to improve flood forecasts. The real -the guidance platform is now being used in more than 70 countries.
This system integrates the weather model with satellite data and radar to detect potential danger several hours ago. It is now expanding as another arrangement of the world -led worldwide.
In 2022, a World Bank survey estimated that about one -5 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 were directly threatened.
89 percent of people in this population live in low and medium income countries.
The purpose of the UN “preliminary warning for all” (pre -war for all) is to provide security to every person in the world by 20227.
