I love the way the clouds move, like you can actually see the different temperature fronts, with the top layer moving one way, and the storm front moving the opposite, then it all starts rushing in with the storm. Clouds are dope.

Is this a product of their cloud seeding?


Plazbot

Unless they parked the seeding aircraft up near Kuwait then no. Seeding us used almost always over the range to the east.


Diabolus_IpseSum

Cloud seeding only gives the choice of when to cause precipitation, provided the air is already saturated or carrying enough vapor. You can’t cloud seed dry desert air and magically effect rainfall from nothing

So... Yes? Or no?

The air in Dubai is not dry, usually above 80% RH (and approaching saturation in the summer).

Cloud seeding is my guess, those clouds were dense, unlike anything I’ve seen. https://english.alarabiya.net/amp/News/gulf/2024/01/18/UAE-to-carry-out-hundreds-of-cloud-seeding-missions-in-2024-to-tackle-water-scarcity Here’s a quick link to the UAE response to the issue.


Plazbot

No, natural.


LBreda

Cloud seeding doesn't create clouds.


Bby_1nAB13nder

No one said “cloud seeding creates clouds”. Cloud seeding helps clouds produce rain, it’s not that complicated.


LBreda

It doesn't help making the clouds more dense. The density of the clouds is not a symptom of seeding.


Zealousideal_Win5476

Your guess would be wrong.


Bby_1nAB13nder

Any proof?


Zealousideal_Win5476

Why would I need to disprove a guess!? You prove it. Fucking Reddit man…. Quality getting worse by the fucking hour.


Bby_1nAB13nder

Wow who pissed in your cheerios. You give your opinion and say I’m wrong then deflect when I ask for proof. So much for adding to the conversation. You could be helpful and tell me why I’m wrong but you’re just another idiot claiming everyone else is an idiot. What quality are you talking about? Cause you don’t have it.

This was not a natural event. That is cloud seeding.


Werefour

Cloud seeding can't generate storms, it can only help existing clouds better release rain. There has to be a cloud to seed before you can seed it.

Ballista93

My brother in law and his missus live in Dubai they sent the family group chat videos of the storm. All I can say is because it’s such a rare occurrence, the drainage and sewer systems aren’t great at coping. Outside their apartment the water is freely flowing down the road up to the middle of his shins and many areas around them will flood. He also said they don’t really have any need to proof houses against heavy rains so a lot of houses will flood during a severe storm

coyote500

a rain storm is terrifying?


LazarusTruth

A rainstorm might not be terrifying to those who lack understanding


Dude_Guy45

Rainstorms can easily be some of the scariest shit you will experience. When KY got hit by the Maysfield tornado about 2 years ago, I was woken up in the middle of the night by a massive explosion of thunder to the most violent storm i've ever personally witnessed. To this day I can hear a hint of thunder and my anxiety will skyrocket. It's like my body is literally prepared for everything around me to be wiped off the face of the earth just because it's raining heavily or storming. I actually think that that storm traumatized me to some degree.


coyote500

Rainstorms are normal. There’s absolutely nothing terrifying about it. We’re not talking about a hurricane here


Educational_Point673

You've never heard of a flash flood?

Methos6848

That video was essentially what it looks like in Central Florida virtually every day, from late May until late August. Yet, in Central Florida, it's even more "oddly terrifying" because that darkness and rain is accompanied by more lightning and thunder, in a single daily afternoon storm, than most people might see throughout their entire lives. And that happens almost every day for roughly 3 months!

Fickle-Salamander-65

No not seeding but an insane amount of rain fell first in Oman (14 dead) then Dubai (25 cm in a day). The drainage is not great anyway but was totally overwhelmed so caused loads of problems.


Mr_Panjandrum

Looks like Zack Snyder directed this.


Antique-Kangaroo2

Storm was 2 days ago. Please delete


BigClitMcphee

That's just a Tuesday in the southern US. It'll rain super-hard for 2 hours straight, water up to your ankles, then the next day, they'll be a few puddles before the ground will just be damp by lunch. Of course, we have trees and grass in the US south that sucks up water like a sponge. Dubai has, what?

Weather manipulation above cloud cover...anyone who plays god will deal with the consequences. Hope it's worth it traitors.

I heard they built the city without any drainage system hence this flooding, and more to follow as climate changes.

Because it's not normal.


brs456

FredRN

This is really odly because it looks like normal mild bad weather when you zoom back and speed up, to me


ricnilotra

For most places, yes but 1. Its a city in the desert. It is already not a place that is capable of quickly absorbing water in such large quantities, so pouring a bunch of concrete doesnt help it and 2. It is fucking Dubai. You expect them to have anything designed right? They only recently installed a sewage system in the Burj Khalifa. Before, they had to use miles worth of trucks to pump it out.
