Recent extreme flooding in Dubai has sparked widespread speculation about the role of cloud seeding in exacerbating the weather event. Various social media users and media outlets have discussed whether the intentional modification of weather through cloud seeding could have unintentionally led to the torrential rains observed in the region. Some commentators have pointed out that cloud seeding is a common practice in Dubai, suggesting that occasional intense rainfall is a natural consequence rather than a direct result of these activities.
Hey reporters: please do not connect the flooding in Dubai with cloud seeding. If you seed clouds all the time (which they do), then when intense rain occurs (which eventually it will) you may conclude that cloud seeding was responsible.
