The Middle Eastern country has reported the spread of clouds and special salt flares, which Bloomberg said happened a few days before the rain in the UAE.
According to climate scientists, extreme weather events occur due to climate change.
“A plane linked to the UAE’s cloud-seeding efforts flew across the country on Sunday,” reports Bloomberg.
As the UAE relies heavily on fresh water resources, cloud seeding is essential to boost depleting groundwater aquifers.
But that’s not all, NCM Deputy Director General Omar AlYazeedi told CNBC that there was no planting activity before or during the storm.
Sky News meteorologist Chris England also dismissed cloud seeding as the cause of storms and blamed climate change for such floods.
He also said that the infrastructure is not enough to withstand such heavy rains.
A similar weather system in the Arabian Sea entered Oman and killed two dozen people.
