Dubai: There are some things in life that people can’t predict, and that includes rain.
UAE residents generally enjoy sun all year round, save a few bouts of a heatwave in the summer. And due to the atypical nature of rain, the sight of even a few drops can grab the attention of all and make the local headlines.
But with the assistance of technology, the UAE has been able to make the occurrence of rain more probable, and has also been able to enhance the amount of accumulated rain in the emirates.
Khaled Al Obeidli, head of the cloud seeding section at the Abu Dhabi-based National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), explained that most of the rain in the UAE occurs during the winter and spring months, “which cover the period from December to April over scattered areas at different amounts”.
“However, rain also occurred during the summer time over eastern parts of the UAE and surrounding areas. Other months of 2017 also experienced some amounts of rain over different parts of the UAE.”
Answer:
However this means the city has a high humidity which can make the weather very unpleasant. Rainfall is scarce during the summer months, but the windy conditions ensure there are frequent dust storms. Temperatures regularly climb above 38 °C (100 °F) during this period and fall to around 26 °C (79 °F) overnight.
