Dubai Sees 2 Years of Worth Rain in 24 Hours
Heavy storms have caused flash flooding in Dubai and the UAE, leading to scenes of chaos, including abandoned cars and flooded runways. While cloud seeding, a practice to enhance rainfall, was initially blamed, experts suggest that the flooding was primarily due to poor infrastructure in Dubai, which is ill-equipped to handle heavy rainfall and has limited green spaces to absorb water. Climate change may have played a role in the increased frequency and intensity of these storms, highlighting the need for cities to improve their infrastructure to mitigate the effects of extreme weather events.
