Dubai International Airport 🇦🇪 has recorded nearly 160 mm (6.3 inches) of rain in the last 24 hours. For context, most of the Dubaï metro typically averages 3.5 inches per year. This is truly a historic event for the area.
@WxNB_ I guess they won’t be needing to cloud seed anymore. 😆
@WxNB_ @PatrickOsgood Is there any infrastructure to store the water or is most of it lost to runoff?
@WxNB_ It if rains once a year, wouldn't you typically get a year's worth of rain every time it rains?
@WxNB_ Yet another example of how #ExtremeWeather will continue to become more intense, more frequent and more unnatural. We know what it will take to slow down, and gradually reverse, this process of #climate unraveling that our actions have set into motion, but we procrastinate.
@WxNB_ @nickhedley @nickhedley - they literally cloud seed...
