Dubai experienced unprecedented rainfall on Tuesday, causing widespread chaos.
Schools were shut down, flights were cancelled, and cars had to be abandoned.
The country -faced 14cm (5.6 inches) of rain, leaving much of the city underwater.
Some have speculated that the heavy rain might have been triggered by "cloud seeding”.
But what is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is a method where existing clouds are manipulated to produce more rainfall.
Aircraft release small particles into clouds, aiding the condensation of water vapour and resulting in increased rainfall.
Most operations use a compound called silver iodide, which exists naturally in the environment and has no known harmful effects.
The United Arab Emirates has been using cloud seeding in recent decades to alleviate water shortages. Subscribe here: [ Ссылка ]
