An NCM official had earlier told Khaleej Times that UAE could see up to three days of rainfall a week during summer. The weather forecaster said summer rains are not uncommon in the country as it experiences monsoon low pressure from India.
Additionally, the country uses cloud seeding to enhance rains.
“Cloud seeding operations can prove efficient due to the formation of the convective clouds that could trigger more rainfall,” he had said.
