Watch| A Death Valley, driest place on Earth is gushing with water!

USA's renowned Death Valley is in the news once more. But this time, not for its soaring temperatures.

As the deadly Hurricane Kay continues to wreak havoc in California, the arid Death Valley National Park which also saw flooding and damage is witnessing an unusual sight.

Videos released by the park service show muddy water cascading down hillocks in the park. The normally scorching desert is seeing streams of water gush forth due to a climate change-induced phenomenon.

The Death Valley National Park is considered to be one of the hottest places on Earth with temperatures crossing 50°C in summers. According to US government data, the Death Valley region does not receive more than 2 inches of rainfall annually.

In August, owing to the Hurricane Kay, the Death Valley park received three-quarters higher than its average rainfall in just a few hours, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported.

Experts say that as time passes, extreme weather conditions like droughts, tropical storms, heavy rainfall and flooding will increase in frequency and level of destruction as the climate crisis continues to worsen.
