The UAE’s National Center of Meteorology has issued a weather alert, indicating expectations of additional rain and cloudy conditions throughout the day across the country.

According to the NCM, this weather situation will be caused because “the country is affected by a surface low pressure system from the Red Sea with an extension of upper air trough accompanied by a jet stream from the West and cold air mass with clouds flowing from the west accompanied by convective clouds over scattered areas associated with rainfall.”

Regular cloud seeding missions are being carried out by the NCM to enhance rainfall in the country, focusing on convective clouds. These clouds, resembling stacked cotton balls, are known for carrying rain and are considered ideal for successful cloud seeding. The NCM continually monitors these clouds to assess their moisture content.
