The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Uzbekistan (MES) has provided detailed information about a recent hydro-meteorological natural phenomenon that has affected several regions of the country. Dust storms, accompanied by strong winds, were observed in the Navoiy, Buxoro, and Samarqand regions, creating swirling sands and dust in the air.
On June 19, the dust storms were a result of the powerful winds that swept through these areas. Uzbekistan, along with other countries in Central Asia, has experienced an increase in the frequency of dust storms in recent years.
Typically, during such events, masses of sand and dust are lifted into the air, creating a dense cloud that can obscure visibility and affect the surrounding environment. However, once the wind force weakens, these particles gradually disperse and settle back onto the ground.
Fortunately, at this time, no reports of significant damage or injuries have been received by the MES regarding the recent dust storms. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to mitigate any potential risks.
As the impacts of climate change continue to manifest globally, it becomes imperative for countries to prioritize resilience-building measures and sustainable development practices. Uzbekistan isn't the only country facing natural catastrophes. Daryo reported hurricane with heavy rain which caused flood in Cuba, tornadoes in northern Taxes, wildfire in Canada, as well as Caspian sea shrinkage due to minimal rainfall.
