Storm dumps heaviest rain ever recorded in desert nation of UAE, flooding roads and Dubai's airport
Heavy thunderstorms lashed the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, dumping the heaviest rain ever recorded in the country in the span of hours as it flooded out portions of major highways and Dubai's international airport.
The state-run WAM news agency called the rain “a historic weather event” that surpassed “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.” That's before the discovery of crude oil in this energy-rich nation then part of a British protectorate known as the Trucial States. The rains began late Monday, soaking the sands and roadways of Dubai with some 20 millimeters (0.79 inches) of rain, according to meteorological data collected at Dubai International Airport. The storms intensified around 9 a.m. local Tuesday and continued throughout the day, dumping more rain and hail onto the overwhelmed city.
By the end of Tuesday, more than 142 millimeters (5.59 inches) of rainfall had soaked Dubai over 24 hours. An average year sees 94.7 millimeters (3.73 inches) of rain at Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel and a hub for the long-haul carrier Emirates.

Camels in the desert are now dreaming of owning boats.
Lmao

Is it new phrase or idiom 😅
Waw so negativ
Lmao 😂
This is what happens when you over do it with the chemical cloud seeding.
It wasn’t cloud seeding it was natural Saudi, Oman, Qatar, UAE and Bahrain have been affected so it’s not cloud seeding
@@SkyWings_AviationIt is. Please try to follow the news instead of polluting the internet.
@@pawelpap9 it was not cloud seeding check your facts man
@@pawelpap9 don’t argue with the blind
@@SkyWings_Aviationyou so sure are you. I think you might be wrong. Bot, I mean but, 😊think what you want.
God said " I will make rivers in the deserts".So He did.❤
I came here to say just like the days of Noah it really is. Heaviest that’s been dumped by a landslide ever since they started keeping record in 1949. Israel became a nation in 1948. 🤔

Don’t worry 🌈🕊️✝️💟
Artificial city got humbled by nature
Cuz of course, natural cities are a thing and they totally dont get destroyed by nature everywhere all the time.
They are changing the rhythm of Nature and will pay a very high price for it all!
Yea they bould a city in dessert Dubai.. its extreme weather there..the world dont go under!
The Most High's judgment
Amen. There is only one God. In Jesus Name. Amen. 🙏
Actually, this happens in so many places in the world. The Most High that I know is merciful and loving. Shalom!
+ Nah! That’s man doing duh 🙄 try looking up clouds seeding 😂😂
Fun fact: Apparently more people die in deserts by drowning than of thirst😂
That is fun !
This was actually funny lol
Laughing at other people's emergencies
I'm having fun too!
not funny 😡
Anyone else noticed that places that never have floods are flooding , or places that never have earthquakes are starting to have them. Or places that get a lot of rain , are NOT getting rain . Look how these parts of the earth looked 10 years ago vs what they look like now . 😳
Putting artificial rain in the desert has consequences on places. Also crazy times
Hmm wonder what it could be?
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, And dry ground into watersprings.

Isaiah 42:18 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Here in the UK it's ra and cold, just as usual 🇬🇧😩
All truth innGOD’s word 🙏
This is never the result of human work… This is gods work.
It's called cloud seeding, literal human work, but we are gods creation so technically not wrong
These are SIGNS. Time is ticking.

Did they go overboard with the cloud seeding?
It's amazing liberal media won't mention that.
Well their goal was to turn the desert green I suppose
It wasn’t cloud seeding it was natural Saudi, Oman, Qatar, UAE and Bahrain have been affected so it’s not cloud seeding
@@SkyWings_AviationYou again? Try checking your sources.
@@SkyWings_Aviation It is cloud seeding dude, they bragged about doing it, clouds travel with the wind, so who all was effected is of no matter. Don't fuk with nature.

GODDAMIT HAD TO READ IT TWICE
Adu Dubai do !! This joke is getting stolen
This is amazing Amazing Amazing weather.
Stay Strong Dubai, We are with you from all over the world. Sending lots of love and support !!
Cloud seeding is a crime against humanity.
@rachelhelen898 Cloud seeding didn’t cause this. Flooding in deserts is actually fairly common (as a once a year event). The biggest problem with cloud seeding is that it actually prevents flooding which means the water evaporates away.

Amen 🙏
Praying for the people of Dubai 🙏🙏🙏
Our heart goes out all to those who are struggling. 🙏
Amazing 👏 , keep the land wet and green in the future! It's a bit hard to accept the flooding at the beginning, but the land needs more water than this to recover. Bless you Dubai 🙏 ♥️
You cannot recover from idiocy. This is the desert where it's 50 °C + during summer. It should not be inhabited by a megalopolis. Yet, people are living there nontheless. Thus, the idiocy.
@bengagnon2894 that's sad though 😕
@bengagnon2894 hope they recover soon from this flood
“The UAE carries out nearly 300 cloud-seeding missions each year, and the frequency can vary based on factors such as weather patterns, cloud availability, and climatic conditions,” an NCM official told Al Arabiya English, adding a “roughly” similar number of missions is likely to be carried out in 2024, depending on the availability of “amenable clouds.”
I doubt cloud seeding can create torrential storms. The place is a desert because air currents just don't bring moisture there. You can't create storms with cloud seeding if there are no clouds. Maybe cloud seeding made it a bit worse but this is mostly due to just fluctuation in weather.
Know it sounds crazy and I didn't believe it either, till I Googled it. It's been 100 year of advancement in weather modification and they can create clouds now. Found this with one Google search. "The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science - National Center of Meteorology (UAEREP-NCM) - the task force behind the country’s cloud-seeding program - told Al Arabiya English that the UAE, located in one of the hottest and most arid regions on earth, has been leading the effort to seed clouds and increase precipitation for more than 23 years. Meteorological experts are expected to carry out as many as 300 cloud-seeding missions across the United Arab Emirates in 2024 to encourage rainfall and tackle water scarcity."
Now they can flush their toilets 😂
😅
@raychristy5027 actually they do flush toilets in Dubai, and they clean their butts 5 times a day unlike you in USA, never clean your butts with water after you poop 🤣
Why would you even say such a thing.

Was it caused by cloud seeding though?

@@Freedomtooffroad I don't believe it would be that powerful too, based on videos of seeding
@@ayoolukoga9829 If we're quoting random OT verses, I'm curious if you wear polyester clothing (Leviticus 19:19)? or support another lovely Psalm (137:9) "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."
Hope all lives are safe Floods are much scary in person and I have seen some in my childhood days in my home country Wish we have even more solar and wind power I have hope that every human shall understand their role in reducing the carbon footprint Again I wish safety for the citizens of Dubai
Ameen

As a teen living in Dubai, thank you so much. This is, like, the first nice comment I've seen since the floods started, and I know friends who don't even have a home anymore due to these floods.

That was a lot of seeding them clouds huh!
Lots of cloud seeding results in no rain at all or hail stones This was a natural storm God yall are Internet brainrots
So awesome. Love it.
This is a reminder from god for those who stray. They reap what they sow.
Absolutely
It’s more like Nature than god.
@@PincoPallino-zh8wm God is Nature... Nature is God
@@cimmerianfable Any proof of this god or just opinion?
@@polreamonn What opinion? God is not a separate being creating things on earth while resting on some fancy throne in heaven. God is the rawest form of energy which neither has a beginning nor ending, it just IS. And the energy is present everywhere, without it, there's nothing. Nature itself is a manifestation of God. Too difficult to grasp it, right? But it is what it is. Proof? The proof lies within yourself, just search for it with an enthusiasm.
Humbling🤕😥😣
This is common occurrence in the southern US when it comes to storms. Just wait until your cloud seeding produces a F5 tornado
I bet you this is a blessing for this nation ...given that it's built on the desert 🏜️ one can look at both ways ...yes it's highly disruptive but perhaps it's for the betterment of this country...we never know. I pray for fast recovery and successful rebuilding and for safety and protection upon the lives inflected by this flood.
I guess thier money cant fix this one
Their money caused this one 😂 they have been cloud seeding for over a decade in the UAE
@@WildTrek TOO much money lol...I guess under Sharia Law they can put the water in prison 😂😂😂

"Their" money is the money the rest of the world spends on "their" natural resource. If you have a problem with "their" money, stop buying oil products.
Their money will still fix this
It's hard to be concerned when you don't live there
All of them can afford to start completely over ! It’s sad when the last a person has is taken from them by the filth rich 😮 do you think they are getting the picture , NOW !
I was planning to go with my family for a holiday, but the weather in Dubai isn't stable. Same like in UK , rain rain rain 🌧
For those who think this storm is caused be over cloud seeding . They are wrong , this is all a form of punishment from Allah. The reason is that they are enjoying their lives in every possible way and even know what is happening in Palestine( Gaza) 🇵🇸 . They didnt sent any help. This is the reason for this storm and suffering of people.

No, it nature.
Amen

It was mentioned in Quran 1400 years ago.... Their example is like the one who ignited a fire, and when it illuminated his surroundings, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness (so) they do not see (they are unable to see). صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۙ Deaf, dumb (silent), blind, they will not return (they do not process any form of communication, so they will not understand). أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فِيهِ ظُلُمَاتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌ ۚ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ مِّنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ مُحِيْطٌۢ بِالْكافِرِيْنَ Or, like the rain falling from the sky in darkness, with thunder and lightning, they put their fingers in their ears from the danger of death by the lightning strike. Allah has surrounded the ungrateful. يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ ؕ كُلَّمَا أَضَاءَ لَهُمْ مَّشَوْا فِيهِ ۙ ࣗ وَإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوْا ؕ وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ ؕ إِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ࣖ The lightning streak almost dazzles the eyes (the intensity of lightning temporarily obstructs vision). When it illuminates for them, they walk in it and stop when darkness falls over them. If Allah wanted, certainly He could have taken away their hearing and eyesight. Allah is indeed in control of everything. يَٓا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ۙ
So climate change might turn the desert into a Garden of Eden? How awful! That's not what the billionaires want!
Just imagine what we will get when the big man cracks the dome
❤ Kudos to the Government of Dubai, UAE, for their swift and efficient response, resolving issues within 24 hours. Their commitment to maintaining a sterling reputation and caring for all residents, regardless of caste or race, is commendable. Dubai upholds values of humanity, brotherhood, and tolerance. Long live Dubai, UAE.Most of these viral videos are fake and created for false rankings.

*they seeded the clouds to cause this rain THEY DID THS!*
The most high god turned the desert into a river
Just ENOUGH water reserved for the infamous WATER Fountain
When you see oppression and not try to stop it then this happened
God coming get Right..
DUBI seeds the clouds, dubi caused it.
No they didn't cloud seed
Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification that aims to change the amount or type of precipitation, mitigate hail or disperse fog. The usual objective is to increase rain or snow, either for its own sake or to prevent precipitation from occurring in days afterward.
Gods pissed.
❤❤❤ Thats Right ✅️
Weather manipulation gone right because it’s a weather war
Thay use wether change technology this results
it is indeed unusual in Dubai !!!
The climate has always changed, soon the desert there will be lush and green
Yeah because of billions spent on cloud seeding
And climate activists will still complain, they prefer desert

Is it 4 inches or 10 inches? The lady said 4 the guy said 10?
4 inches in the last 12 hours, 10 inches in the last 24. They kind of breezed past that

Definitely cloud seeding it affects the weather well after the seeding has been done!
I unknowingly posted my video about LIGHTS and WATER SPECKTAKLE Dubai this morning. I've been back from Dubai for a week now. I wanted to extend my flight, then I would still be at the airport in Dubai....OMG. I feel very sorry for everyone, hopefully the rainwater will be collected well. Then Dubai can have fewer cloud inoculations this year.
Kya Dubai airport band hain
Aren’t they famous for building magnificent floating cities - money is no object. So… all the best!!!
Now they can build a sewage system which flash water in a second.. Am sure it wilbe FIRST OF KIND ART WORK.. COMPENSATION FOR ALL THOSE AFFECTED THAT TOO FIRST OF IT SCALE WORLD WIDE
Habibi, Don't come to Dubai
If the car engine sucks in water isnt it toast?
I am pretty sure a lot of people died in Dubai. But people will not talk about their deaths, because they are expendable work force from poor countries.
CERN machines 😮
Man made 😢
Only depending on tourism industry and oil, need to do water conservation projects for this type of nature desaster
What schools they shut down
This is the result of government weather control. Problem is God doesn't play that way. Weather is not people's department. Lol good luck.
Messing with nature. Man will never learn. We have to come together unite.
Plant hundreds of trees to get rain that doesn't harm you. Since Dubai has good leaders who like nature, You can start from young people to grow trees in UAE. We have lots of rain in Sri Lanka but most of the floods are controlled by forests.
Jesus is coming soon❤😂🎉
❤ so true
Super good Many people working at Dubai but not helping Dubai government labourers.
That salt has cost them alot of money
I wonder why..... It's not the only gulf state to be "punished" with extreme damaging weather.... Allah is watching....
Dude in the Lexus has waited his whole life for that moment 😅

I’m guessing they don’t have sewage drains
Habi habi welcome to Dubai
SubhanAllah…We never know what will happen to us.🙄
No problem... this rich country
This technology should have been tested elsewhere before a city.
You mean a failed cloud seeding experiment 😂I bet they were trying to turn that desert into an oasis
All that rain will keep the dust down for a while!
