In recent years, the UAE has experienced its heaviest rainfall in 75 years. This has led to speculation about the role of cloud seeding in causing the downpour. Cloud seeding, a practice where planes inject clouds with chemicals to induce rainfall, is often used in areas with little rainfall or prolonged dry spells. However, some experts argue against the theory that cloud seeding caused the intense rainfall in Dubai.
Despite theories circulating online linking the Dubai floods to cloud seeding, the UAE government has denied any involvement in such operations before the storm. President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has ordered authorities to assess the damage and provide support to affected families in the aftermath of the heavy rains.
One leading weather expert, Johan Jaques, has raised concerns about the potential consequences of widespread cloud seeding. He warns of possible “weather wars” between countries if cloud seeding is not carefully regulated. Mr. Jaques highlights the risks associated with altering natural weather patterns, as well as the unpredictability of the outcomes of cloud seeding. While the practice aims to enhance precipitation, it can also lead to uncontrolled flooding in some areas and droughts in others.
The recent flooding in Dubai has raised alarms about the unintended consequences of using technology to manipulate the weather. Mr. Jaques emphasizes the importance of considering
