- 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.
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!
yea fr the Lord is gonna punish these evil ppl for controlling His worlds weather and i just wanna have sunny days like we used to when i was younger now i just have to hope the clouds will leave just for one day
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 😂😂
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. 🤔
The realization hits HARD

Beautiful how prophecy is come to us ❤️
@@wherespie428 Amen.Praying for the lost❤️❤️
40 days and nights in a day 😮
Those who don't know: 😃
Those who know. : 😳
40 no way?
what do you mean?
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 😡
This is why you dont play with weather
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. Psalm 107:35
I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 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. Isaiah 43:19
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. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Isaiah 43:19-20
Here in the UK it's ra and cold, just as usual 🇬🇧😩

This is amazing Amazing Amazing weather.
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.
People in Dubai don’t like the Flintstones, but the People in Abu-dhabi do
lol
I had to read it twice to get it.
Yaba Dhabi do?
GODDAMIT HAD TO READ IT TWICE
Adu Dubai do !! This joke is getting stolen
God has had enough🙏

Ohhhhhh so we can hold your god accountable for these natural disasters?
Seems like kind of a dick move though.
Amen 🙏
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."
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.
Storm clouds gathering exclaimed the chem trail jet plane pilot
🙄
Because the hard soil doesn’t absorb water as well than moist soil
Oh no. Sending prayers ❤
Every things happen on this earth by God’s hand…. 💜
So awesome. Love it.
God has spoken
No, it nature.
Amen
@@smiddle6628 what nature?
U people dont like to hear the truth
@User19857 You people think that yelling and saying it over and over again makes it the truth. I value the truth, not make believe.
@@smiddle6628 where did i say yelling 😂? Times of like Noah, yes God will swipe ur Dubai with its rich and power
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
This is common occurrence in the southern US when it comes to storms. Just wait until your cloud seeding produces a F5 tornado
Has anyone made the connection of the worldwide record breaking rain to the depletion of the trees in the world's rainforests? Just one tree can hold thousands of gallons of water, and with our water holding trees disappearing. Where do you think all that treeless water is going to go? The oceans can only hold so much water and the clouds can only hold so much. This is getting serious. Australia just had a freaky incident where the ground cracked open in the middle of the desert and it was full of a lot of little fish. The guy reporting this pulled a bunch of tiny fish out of the water with his bare hands. It was remarkable! Go check out the UA-cam video about it. 😳
CLOUD SEEDING stop messing with the weather !
Was it caused by cloud seeding though?

THEY DIDNT CLOUD SEED THIS TIME OH MH LORD
@@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."
Just imagine what we will get when the big man cracks the dome
Just ENOUGH water reserved for the infamous WATER Fountain
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 !
Such advanced yet so medieval
Feeling Sad those who planned to do Relax or enjoy in Dubai 😢
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.
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
Allah said
i give u the oil
why steal water?
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.
@@lovable_potterhead8729 Don't know what's wrong with this generation...they are laughing and making fun of this serious situation...anyways stay safe buddy 🙌🏻
Beautiful
Dude in the Lexus has waited his whole life for that moment 😅
Praying for the people of Dubai 🙏🙏🙏
Oh my
Looks like even the desert wanted to try out swimming lessons for a change! 🏊♂️🌧️
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 🌧
And this is world class vaca destination
😂
Humbling🤕😥😣
No problem... this rich country
it is indeed unusual in Dubai !!!
So climate change might turn the desert into a Garden of Eden? How awful! That's not what the billionaires want!
Waiting for the rain in Sahara.
I m from Bangladesh , I born in a village, trust me our canal system was natural, we have canal , i never seen water got stuck front of our home .
You mean a failed cloud seeding experiment 😂I bet they were trying to turn that desert into an oasis
I don’t know why I find this so funny.
No wait, yes I do
Why?
@@KarrieDreammind5 I don’t know what you’re looking for.
Do you want an explanation? I mean, think about it.
@__belial__ Yes, I'm looking for an explanation to why you find it so funny. You said you know. I'm just curious. I could find it funny for my own personal reasons but I don't know whether they would be the same as yours.
Why’s it funny?
Did it to themselves. Almost like disaster capitalism or something...
End is approaching very fast...
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.
Weather manipulation gone right because it’s a weather war
DUBI seeds the clouds, dubi caused it.
No they didn't cloud seed
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.
Living in the emirates in the 1970s, people would abandon vehicles after sandstorms, and buy a new one!
Is Dubai now good for investment?
Going down the drain by the looks o0f things.
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.
May almighty bless this nation .Ameen..they provide job for many poor ..
Very good weather that's a nice experience the arabs deserts now ready for farming.
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
@@moezmedia98 well said
The most high god turned the desert into a river
Seemingly the man responsible for Sanitation has completely lost his head and his cat had a narrow escape 😺
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 ۙ

Gods pissed.
❤❤❤ Thats Right ✅️
This is showing why you need SUV rather then super cars
That salt has cost them alot of money
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

Now they can build a sewage system which flash water in a second..
Am sure it wilbe FIRST OF KIND ART WORK..

THAT TOO FIRST OF IT SCALE WORLD WIDE
All that rain will keep the dust down for a while!
10 inches in 24 hr is like when we have a regular storm in my country. 4? Just 4?
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
We always add a couple inches on when talking about size
Women always underestimate and guys overestimate ;)

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.
Turnaround Don’t Drown, better yet Stay Home😊🏡
Habibi, Don't come to Dubai
Definitely cloud seeding it affects the weather well after the seeding has been done!
They finally figured they dont have to pray for rain despite all that
Man made 😢
*Why didn’t you report that they did this rain!! They seeded the clouds with a bunch of chemicals to cause them to rain! * They over did it and now they have a national disaster as a result.
OMG IF I HAD BOOKED A WEEK THERE THEN THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON A EXPENSIVE VACATION I WOULD BE TIGHT AS HELL
If you’re tight, you probably wouldn’t go to an expensive place like that.
Jealousy hurts
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.
I've heard of cloud seeding in that area.
The city 🌃 is under water 💦
Jesus is coming soon❤😂🎉
❤ so true
Super good
Many people working at Dubai but not helping Dubai government labourers.
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.
What the hell they have money for tall buildings but not for infrastructure
Despite all the billions of petrol dollars, Dubai still has the infrastructure of a 3rd world country
Dubai is gonna be selling alot of sport cars for way under the price after the flood.
When you see oppression and not try to stop it then this happened
Cloud seeding gone wrong
They tried to create rain😂😂, definitely forgot about that idea now.
