Yemen is expected to see its first hurricane on record early this week, as Tropical Cyclone Chapala hits just southwest of the city of Al Mukallah on Monday evening or Tuesday morning, eastern time (that’s between early Tuesday morning and early afternoon, local time). Since records began in the region in 1945, no hurricane-strength tropical cyclone has hit the desert country; hurricanes are referred to as tropical cyclones in this region, just as they are known as typhoons in the western Pacific.
The storm may bring catastrophic amounts of rain — at least a decade’s worth of rain over the course of just a day or two in populated areas of war-torn Yemen, a country currently involved in a complicated civil war that involves regional powers, including Saudi Arabia.
The war will severely limit the ability of Yemen’s government to respond to any flooding and other storm damage with aid and other assistance, placing an even greater burden on already-stretched international aid groups and the United Nations.
