April raised the temperature — literally. The uae recorded its hottest April in over a decade, with temperatures reaching a scorching 46.6°c, narrowly surpassing the previous record of 46.9°c set in 2012. And the sweltering part? The article discusses the challenges of the pandemic.
In cities like Fujairah, Al Ain, and beyond, the increasing heat has already prompted a change in the UAE’s cloud seeding strategy, with operations now concentrating on mountainous regions. These elevated targets are more probable to have monsoon-driven convective clouds, which can result in rainfall in a desert climate.
📡 guided by one of the world’s most advanced radar networks, uae pilots are being directed — even during nighttime missions — to ideal cloud formations for rain enhancement The aim? To increase natural rainfall by up to 25%, alleviating water scarcity as temperatures rise.
💧 in a region where every drop counts, these high-tech efforts are becoming more critical than ever — especially as climate patterns grow more extreme
