After implementing a cutting-edge strategy to combat scorching summer temperatures, Dubai’s government deployed drones to induce artificial rain.
The rainstorm, triggered by drones emitting electrical charges into the clouds, underscored the ambitious efforts to manipulate weather patterns in the region.
This innovative approach aimed to alleviate the city’s extreme heat. However, just a few weeks after the commencement of cloud seeding via drones, Dubai encountered one of its most intense rainstorms in recent memory.
Meteorologists in the UAE captured footage on April 9, 2024, showcasing the aftermath of the artificial rain experiment.
