Abu Dhabi, July 23: The world has been grappled with some extreme climate conditions. While some parts of Europe and Asia are experiencing heavy rainfall, UAE and Canada is suffering from an extreme heatwave. When temperatures crossed a sweltering 50 degrees celsius, UAE’s National Center of Meteorology came up with a solution of creating fake rain. With the help of drones, a heavy downpour was created in Dubai. Video of this fake rain was shared on Twitter. Mice Plague In Australia: Know Why It’s Raining Rats Here (Watch Video)

UAE being a desert country the temperatures here soar to an extreme during the summer months. To seek respite from this sweltering heat, scientists use the technique of cloud seeding. In this, drones are used to give an electric shock to the clouds that make them to precipitate. A video of the downpour was shared on the official Twitter handle of UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology. It shows heavy rain pouring down on a highway. Wuhan Music Festival 2021 Sees Thousands of Attendees Without Masks, Social Distancing Goes For a Toss; See Pics and Videos.

As reports keep pouring in about the havoc created by monsoon in some parts of India, Dubai just conjured up some rainfall for itself. Using a new method of cloud seeding in which they charged clouds with electricity, this city in the United Arab Emirates found some respite after battling temperatures over 50 degree Celsius. Cloud seeding has been around for some time now and has been employed in India on multiple occasions to mitigate drought.

The idea of cloud seeding for fake rain costs millions. However, the country has been funding this project since 2017. The rainmaking technology is thus very commonly used in desert countries. In some parts, it rained so much that a yellow level warning alert was issued for them. Because the technology can result in extreme weather, some have raised questions about its usage.

The cloud seeding technology is also being discussed to be implemented in parts of the world that face a drought-like situation.
