Heavy thunderstorms lashed the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, dumping the heaviest rain ever recorded in the country in the span of hours as it flooded out portions of major highways and Dubai’s international airport.
The state-run WAM news agency called the rain “a historic weather event” that surpassed “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.” That’s before the discovery of crude oil in this energy-rich nation then part of a British protectorate known as the Trucial States. The rains began late Monday, soaking the sands and roadways of Dubai with some 20 millimeters (0.79 inches) of rain, according to meteorological data collected at Dubai International Airport. The storms intensified around 9 a.m. local Tuesday and continued throughout the day, dumping more rain and hail onto the overwhelmed city.
By the end of Tuesday, more than 142 millimeters (5.59 inches) of rainfall had soaked Dubai over 24 hours. An average year sees 94.7 millimeters (3.73 inches) of rain at Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel and a hub for the long-haul carrier Emirates.

Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification that aims to change the amount or type of precipitation, mitigate hail or disperse fog. The usual objective is to increase rain or snow, either for its own sake or to prevent precipitation from occurring in days afterward.

1 Timothy 6:17 – Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.
cloud seeding gone wrong
Allahuakhbar
The question, is it cloud seeding or natural.
God is not playing
Rich underwater
I’m from Dubai. This storm affected over three Gulf countries, with rainfall in one exceeding five months’ worth in London. Don’t spread misinformation. If this had occurred elsewhere, it could have resulted in hundreds of casualties and deaths. However, Dubai experienced no casualties, and within two days, all water was drained, and life returned to normal. It’s good. Most of your comments likely stem from jealousy. Period.
Playing with nature cloud seeding,, oil pollution.. grow trees in desert if u can, make it natural
To much cloud seeding
❤ Kudos to the Government of Dubai, UAE, for their swift and efficient response, resolving issues within 24 hours. Their commitment to maintaining a sterling reputation and caring for all residents, regardless of caste or race, is commendable. Dubai upholds values of humanity, brotherhood, and tolerance. Long live Dubai, UAE.Most of these viral videos are fake and created for false rankings.
