  • A major clean-up operation is underway in Dubai after heavy rains hit the UAE, flooding sections of major motorways and leaving vehicles abandoned right across the region.
    The storms forced Dubai International Airport to close temporarily. Some carriers suspended or diverted flights due to the bad weather.

      It's not only Sky News, the whole media says the same thing, regardless whether it's local, regional, or international.
      If I'm not mistaken there was an official statement by the authorities in 🇦🇪 UAE, and naturally it would be shared and forwarded to all media.
      Anyhow, it's rather accurate since data collection for weather in 🇦🇪 UAE began in 1949, hence the 75 years reference.

    *This was one big storm!*
    Although people knew it was coming; no one expected it would be that powerful.
    By the 13th of April, there were already news and notifications about a low-pressure system deepening over the Arabian Peninsula and a flow of moist tropical air moving into the Gulf region. Also, weather forecast in weather apps was showing thunderstorms on the following days.
    It started on Sunday, 14 April, over eastern 🇴🇲 Oman, but then it was spreading and moving westward and northward. By Monday's afternoon (15 April), it was already raining in 🇧🇭 Bahrain, 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇦🇪 UAE, and the Eastern Province of 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia.
    Due to the exceptionally unstable weather conditions, and as precautionary measures to ensure the safety of students, employees, and the public in general, the following decisions were announced:
    • Weather alerts and warnings were issued by authorities of the aforementioned countries.
    • Ministries of education in 🇴🇲 Oman, 🇶🇦 Qatar, and 🇦🇪 UAE, announced that classes in public and private schools must work remotely and switch to distance learning on Tuesday.
    • In 🇧🇭 Bahrain, the Ministry of Education announced that classes will be suspended on Tuesday in public and private schools, as well as higher education and kindergartens.
    • Similar measures were taken in the Eastern Province of 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia.
    • Authorities in 🇶🇦 Qatar and 🇦🇪 UAE asked government employees to work from home if possible.
    By Tuesday (16 April), the heavy thundery showers and strong winds continued, but by the afternoon it was moving away from 🇧🇭 Bahrain, 🇶🇦 Qatar, and 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia.
    It was more like a series of intense thunderstorms with torrential rain, hail in some areas, and squalls, and it lasted for at least two days.
    Lastly, data collection for weather in the 🇦🇪 UAE began in 1949, hence the 75 years reference.

    Limited impact: Cloud seeding aims to increase rainfall slightly in existing clouds, not create entirely new storms.
    Local effects: Even if cloud seeding was done, it would only cause rain in the targeted area, not widespread flooding across the region.

      Interesting how many here have jumped on the "It was cloud seeding - don't mess with nature" without knowing much about how cloud seeding actually works.
      Ironic also that the real messing with nature which is more likely involved here is fossil fuels and greenhouse gases. Something which Dubai has done it's fair share of. Also something that most of the folks blaming cloud seeding would deny is happening.
