Dubai, a city known for its towering skyscrapers, luxurious lifestyle, and arid climate, was recently captivated by an unusual event – flood.
Videos flooded social media platforms showed Dubai sinking. But what exactly caused this rare occurrence in a desert city like Dubai?
Let's devel deeper into it
A storm hit the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman this week bringing record rainfall and Climate experts believe that cloud seeding is not behind the heavy rainfall in Dubai. With cloud seeding, it may rain, but it doesn't really pour or flood
Let me explain you that Cloud seeding. So the Clouds require tiny water or ice droplets, called nuclei, to form rain. The weather modification method uses planes and ground-based cannons to shoot particles into clouds making more nucleai, attracting moisture that falls as snow and rain.
The UAE, which is one of the hottest and driest regions in the world, has been leading the effort to seed clouds and increase precipitation.
But if not cloud seeding then what can be the reason behind this strom? Meteorologists and climate scientists explained that the heavy rainfall in Dubai is similar to what we might expect due to human-caused climate change. One key point they made is that the rainfall was predicted days before it actually happened. This means it wasn't caused by any artificial manipulation of clouds. The fact that experts were able to forecast it well in advance adds weight to the idea that it was a natural event influenced by broader climate patterns.
According to climate scientist Michael Mann the heavy rainfall in Dubai was caused by three low-pressure systems moving along the jet stream toward the Persian Gulf. The jet stream is like a fast-moving river of air that carries weather systems. He emphasized that blaming cloud seeding for the rainfall ignores both the forecasts and the actual cause of the event.
The flood in Dubai, though rare, highlights how closely linked urban growth and local climate are. As cities expand, it's crucial to grasp these connections.
