A month’s worth of rain in dubai

[Fen Wolf]

Dunno if this us being discussed but currently intense flooding in dubai and reports of a months rain in 24 hours so far

Try 2 years worth of rain in 24 hours and you might be nearer the mark....

Work your way down, the new catastrophic normal...

Times reports that 'cloud seeding' by the authorities may be partly to blame.

Questions have swirled online about the process being behind the historic rainfall – but experts say it’s not the real culprit

 

The authorities are adamant they weren't cloud seeding at the time. I would also doubt it is effective enough to cause 254mm of rain!

If cloud seeding was so successful, why isn’t it used more? Answer. Because it’s very unreliable!

Cloud seeding wouldn’t have caused this deluge….

What is cloud seeding and did it cause Dubai flooding?

Dubai has been hit by record floods, sparking misleading speculation about cloud seeding.

Even if somehow seeding was involved, it’s not going to create the instability provided to make the storms happen, it would just add to their intensity slightly. It also doesn’t account for the thundery outbreaks in other countries in that region of the world. Simply, it’s a convective spell of weather due to unstable weather patterns. It’s so frustrating seeing the comments on the DM site (what else can you expect) just spout absolute nonsense over things they know nothing about. Copious mentions of Lynmouth when a basic understanding of a synoptic chart and convection dispels the theory entirely. These theories keep persisting because people don’t understand the facts so it’s easy for them to assign it to whatever their enemy is. Happens all the time even with non weather related things. Rant over.

The rain in some of those videos really was monstrous though, just sheets of it cascading down. I’d love to know the rainfall rates. The amount that must have fell to cause the water to forcefully destroy buildings like that is enormous. The videos of Lamborghinis plowing through floodwaters couldn’t be more telling of our situation really. All the material riches don’t mean a thing when the earth itself is against you!

Humanity seems to be doomed don’t they

 

As you know i got to see Dana in the canaries recently which is a rare event and even the locals back in January were saying it is much hotter on the islands than it should be so yes, something is up on planet earth
