(THE CONVERSATION) When an unexpected rainstorm leaves you soaking wet, it is an annoyance. When a drought leads to fires, crop failures and water shortages, the significance of weather becomes ...

These predictions help in identifying conditions ideal for weather modification, such as cloud seeding and tracking the movement and intensity of weather systems to determine intervention points.

Today, cloud-seeding operations are conducted by a permanent unit at the NCM's meteorological department, which conducts operations across the UAE. No harmful chemicals are used in these operations.
