Apocalyptic flooding in Dubai which has left thousands stranded may have been induced by cloud seeding operations, analysis shows.
Cloud seeding is a strategy used to induce rainfall by firing salt flares into clouds to speed up condensation and is a method used in the UAE to solve water shortages.Seeding operations were first introduced in the desert nation in 2002, and the country now reportedly carries out over 1,000 hours of seeding operations annually.
Mr AlYazeedi added: “We take the safety of our people, pilots, and aircrafts very seriously. The NCM does not conduct cloud seeding operations during extreme weather events.” After his previous comments, Mr Habib later clarified that while six pilots had flown as part of routine protocol, they did not seed any clouds.City authorities advised people to stay home after more than 4.7ins of rain fell on Tuesday - the typical yearly average in the city.
