Dubai Flooding Not Caused by Cloud-Seeding Experiments, Government Says

Quick Summary:

After decades of cloud seeding, which involves manipulating clouds to make it rain, the United Arab Emirates is insisting that Dubai's historic flooding is not related to its long-running weather modification experiments.

"Instead of using cloud seeding to turn the sky into a sponge, Dubai would be better off trying to turn the city into one".

It also reported that although the state's weather modification planes weren't dispatched on Tuesday, when Dubai's storm started, they had gone out on Monday and Tuesday.
