Dubai, typically dry, faced an unusual challenge as heavy thunderstorms submerged the city last week. Despite initial concerns, the UAE clarified that their weather modification program wasn’t responsible.
In case you missed it: A torrential downpour, equivalent to two years of rainfall, flooded Dubai from Monday to Tuesday. The city’s lack of storm drains exacerbated the situation, causing disruptions to roads, buildings, and even airport operations. Although the rain ceased, delays persisted at Dubai International Airport, with Emirates temporarily halting passenger check-ins.
Contrary to rumors…The flooding wasn’t caused by the UAE’s cloud seeding efforts, which aim to enhance rainfall. Experts emphasize that even if seeding occurred, it could only marginally increase precipitation.
The true culprit: Behind the extreme weather is climate change, expected to make the UAE wetter in the future and carry significant economic costs.
