A new study reconstructing extreme rainfall in Arabia has uncovered that rainfall in the region was five times more extreme just 400 years ago .

The last 2,000 years in Arabia were much wetter, with the region once a vegetated savannah roaming with lions, leopards, and wolves.

The Middle East is considered a climate hotspot, with increasing flash floods from torrential winter rains, interspersed by harsh droughts, causing widespread chaos and humanitarian disasters.
