This is the best summary I could come up with:


Abnormally high rainfall hit Oman and the United Arab Emirates on Monday, with heavy downpours and thunderstorms rolling in from the north-east.

The two countries are among the driest in the world, with large parts of both typically receiving less than 100mm of rainfall each year.

Some thunderstorms were accompanied by hail, with a particularly heavy shower in Abu Dhabi leaving the streets blanketed in hailstones, some of which were almost the size of golf balls.

The UAE was less badly affected, but some schools were closed, while an official visit to Dubai by Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, was scaled down.

This new record is likely to be broken again by the end of the month, with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecasting severe to extreme heatwave conditions across much of Western Australia this weekend and into next week.

In contrast, a winter storm swept across the north-east US on Tuesday, with more than a foot of snow falling in many areas.


The original article contains 397 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
