This summer, Dubai has been averaging over 40 degree celsius (104 deg fahrenheit) weather everyday. Dubai only gets 4 inches of rainfall a year so this is a massive issue for their agriculture and general wellbeing. It reached 51.8 degrees celcius (125 degrees fahrenheit) in June.

"Here's how it works: The drones shoot laser beams into the clouds, charging them with electricity. The charge prompts precipitation by forcing water droplets together to create bigger raindrops, essentially electrifying the air to create rain."

"These drones are designed to target certain clouds and use electrical discharges via concentrated lasers to forcibly pool water droplets in the air, thus triggering desired rainfall."

they really made us learn about the water cycle in school

Dam

They on some futuristic s*** over there bruh

Im going there next year

Real

Heard about this and lowkey I was thinking..could this mess with weather elsewhere? Like on some butterfly effect s***

Frightening yet fascinating

Enjoy the food there, their burgers

maybe they shouldn't have built a metropolis in the middle of a desert

i stg im like 2 weeks of having coffee for lunch from copping one of these for the area in the air above me

Yep, from what I understand in other zones won't rain so it will be a big issue to the eco-system. What solves a problem causes another...

Phoenix?!??

Riyadh?!?!

Kuwait City?!?!?!?

Vegas?!?!?!??

Abu Dhabi?!?!?!?!?!?

Yeah more water wasted

Yup only cities that shouldn't exist and are far from ecological

man f*** the heat the humidity here is killing me

average summer day in australia

cloud seeding

A lot of water wasted just for rich people to keep having fun, in the case of Dubai

But rich people can make it rain

yeah all these are monuments of mankind's hubris

I make it rain on these hoes everyday
