In the UAE cause artificial rain clouds

The National Center for Meteorology (NCM) confirmed on Thursday that the change in weather occurred as a result of 16 missions of spraying clouds of salt crystals, which took place over four days. «The mission of spraying small rain clouds was carried out from Friday December 15 to Monday December 18, when convective clouds formed over the mountainous area, which led to successful results», said an NCM spokesman. This also led to fog.

Cloud dusting missions can be performed only when cloud formations appear over the UAE. During the mission, the plane enters the cloud and splashes salt crystals into a natural cloud formation that promotes the formation of raindrops.

The Center for Meteorology confirmed that the cloud settlement mission contributed to a 20 percent increase in precipitation in the UAE.

The highest rainfall was recorded on the east coast of the UAE.
