"UAE's Record-Breaking Storm and the Controversy of Cloud Seeding"

The United Arab Emirates continues to grapple with the aftermath of a record-breaking storm that flooded roads, disrupted airport operations, and caused significant delays and cancellations. The storm, which also hit Oman, resulted in one reported death in the UAE and 20 in Oman, with authorities urging government employees and students to stay home while waterlogged roads are cleared. Climate experts attribute the extreme weather event to rising temperatures and increased humidity caused by human-led climate change, exacerbating the risk of flooding in the region.
