Dubai creates rain to tackle 50 degrees heat by 'shocking' the clouds -

*Drone technology used to give clouds an electric shock

*This coaxes the clouds into clumping together, resulting in rains

*Plans underway to direct water from the skies to aquifer

With temperatures at 50 degrees Celsius, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is creating its own rain using drones that fly into clouds and unleash electrical charges.

 

The charges give clouds electrics to ‘cajole them’ into clumping together and producing rain.

 

The UAE, one of the most arid countries on Earth, hopes the technique could help to increase its meagre annual rainfall. And it is working.

 

 

The Centre said the precipitation has been enhanced by a technique known as cloud seeding, and its purpose is to increase condensation in the hope that it might trigger a downpour.

 

The UAE’s cloud seeding operations are part of an ongoing $15 million (£10.8m) mission to generate rain in the country.

 

The country ranks among the world’s top 10 driest with an average rainfall of just three inches. This is six times less than what is obtainable in Northern Nigeria.
