NASA releases satellite images of Dubai floods caused possibly by climate change

 



The record-breaking rains and floods in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last week caused massive desruption. Due to this rain, many places in Dubai city were flooded.


Now NASA has released satellite images after the flood and before the flood. In these pictures, the effect of rain in Dubai can be seen.

Reason for floods in Dubai


Some experts had attributed the cause of this flood to cloud seeding i.e. artificial rain. The Associated Press claimed in its report that the Dubai administration had flown a plane to make it rain through cloud seeding. Shortly after this, the Gulf countries had to face heavy rains and floods.


When there is a lot of rain at a certain place in a certain time, it is called cloud burst. Cloud burst depends on how much clouds have accumulated due to cloud seeding. If clouds filled with too much steam are identified and cloud seeding is done in them, then the clouds can burst. In such a situation, it is possible that heavy rains have occurred in the Gulf countries including UAE. Which became the reason for the flood.


 However, American meteorologist Ryan Mau refuses to believe that cloud seeding is the reason for the floods in Dubai. According to him, there is a thin layer of clouds over the Gulf countries. Despite cloud seeding, it cannot rain so much that there is a flood. Cloud seeding can cause rain at one go. This does not cause intermittent rain for several days as is happening there.


According to Mau, climate change is the reason for heavy rains in countries like UAE and Oman. Those who are blaming cloud seeding are mostly of that mindset who do not believe that there is something like climate change.


Wherever the water on the sea surface is hot, the air there will also heat up and rise. This will create low pressure i.e. LP in that entire area. Apart from this, hot sea water turns into steam and forms clouds and these clouds cause rain in that area. That is, where there is low pressure (LP) there is rain and where there is high pressure (HP) there is drought.


 Meteorologist Mau says that before the rain on the Gulf countries, an extension of 3 low pressure systems was formed which brought rain and storm there.
