Cloud seeding caused havoc in Dubai
On April 16, heavy rains caused havoc in Dubai. There was so much rain in the city that it created chaos in the entire city. The reason behind the rain was cloud seeding. Due to which it rained and then there was so much rain which was not even needed. Scientists believe that something went wrong in the cloud seeding done in Dubai. Due to which there was heavy rain.
UAE’s Gulf State National Center of Metrology informed that on April 15 and 16, planes had flown for cloud seeding at Al-Ain Airport. And this plane flew seven times in two days. There was a mistake somewhere in this process of cloud seeding. Due to which it rained so much.
What is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is a way of getting rain from clouds. Because it is made to rain. That is why it is called artificial rain. In Hindi it means artificial rain. For this, normal salt along with silver iodide and dry ice is released into the clouds by planes at a height in the sky. That is, in a way, seeds are given to the clouds to bring rain. This is called cloud seeding.
Cloud seeding does not happen in any season. The sun is shining brightly and there is no change anywhere. In such a situation, if someone wants to do cloud seeding, it is not possible. For this, there must be at least 40% clouds in the sky which also contain some water.
If there is less water in the clouds and no humidity then it will not rain. But at present the Southern Jet Stream is running in Dubai. Due to which cloud seeding was successful. If there is no humidity then the water drops coming from the clouds will turn into steam even before falling on the ground.
