Speculation 'cloud seeding' caused Dubai record rainfall refuted by experts blaming climate change​

22 hours ago​

Speculation has swirled on social media about whether "cloud seeding" was behind the record rainfall in Dubai which caused flooding and turned airport runways into rivers.

The storm hit the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman this week, killing at least 20 people, and disrupting flights at the world's largest air hub for international travel, trapping hundreds of passengers.

In the UAE's Al Ain city, which borders Oman, a record 254 millimetres of rainfall was recorded — the largest ever in a 24-hour period since records started in 1949.

But what is cloud seeding and is there any truth to the claims of weather manipulation?

What is cloud seeding?​

Cloud seeding is a process where small planes fly through clouds and disperse chemicals to increase rainfall in an environment where water scarcity is a concern.

The UAE frequently conducts the process due to the rarity of rainfall, a common feature across the Arabian Peninsula, known for its desert climate where summer air temperatures can soar above 50 degrees Celsius.

Because of this, the region is also known to lack drainage systems to cope with heavy rains and submerged roads are not uncommon during rainfall.

But experts said the storm systems that produced the rain on Tuesday local time were forecast well in advance and that cloud seeding would not have caused such flooding.

Several reports quoted meteorologists at the National Center for Meteorology as saying they flew six or seven cloud-seeding flights before the rains.

Flight-tracking data analysed by AP showed one aircraft affiliated with the UAE's cloud-seeding efforts flew around the country on Monday.

The National, an English-language, state-linked newspaper in Abu Dhabi, quoted an anonymous official at the centre on Wednesday as saying no cloud seeding took place on Tuesday, without acknowledging any earlier flights.
