China: Melting Snow Due To High Temperatures Causes Flooding In Taklamakan Desert, Xinjiang

On August 24, 2024, a surprising natural event unfolded in the Taklamakan Desert near Aksu, Xinjiang, in northwestern China.

In particular, this year's high temperatures and heavy precipitation in Xinjiang in July led to extra snow melt.
