The National Center of Meteorology in the UAE has denied conducting cloud seeding operations before heavy storms hit the country, leading to flooding in places like Dubai. The organization stated that it did not dispatch pilots for seeding operations before or during the storm, emphasizing that cloud seeding should target clouds in their early stage before rainfall. The UAE has experienced a rise in rainfall in recent years, attributed to climate change, and the infrastructure struggled to cope with the unprecedented downpours, resulting in flooded roads and airports.
