The heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across the desert nation stemmed partly from cloud seeding. The UAE started cloud seeding operations in 2002 to address water security issues, even though the lack of drainage in many areas can trigger flooding.
The Gulf state’s National Center of Meteorology dispatched seeding planes from Al Ain airport on Monday and Tuesday to take advantage of convective cloud formations, according to Ahmed Habib, a specialist meteorologist. That technique involves implanting chemicals and tiny particles — often natural salts such as potassium chloride — into the atmosphere to coax more rain from clouds.
The latest storms followed heavy rains earlier this year, according to Habib at NCM. The seeding planes have flown seven missions over the past two days, he added.
“For any cloud that’s suitable over the UAE you make the operation,” he said.

I wonder if UAE will continue seeding every viable cloud?

I think they did it on 'I Dream of Jeannie' where she left the water running and it flooded.

Cloud seeding works (sort of - 25% is rather very optimistic imo) - but it doesn't cause deluges like they have had in Oman and the UAE

They can cause the "law of unintended consequences" to raise it's ugly head. That is a fact. So, yes they can start something that can cause extreme rain event with HAARP energy focused in the right place.

HAARP now. It'll be chemtrails and planet Nibiru next .....
Clever how computer models forecast the cloud seeding. And why did the UAE cloud seed Oman first?

HAARP as being able to heat up portions of the upper and lower ionosphere is true.
The scalar interferometer nonsense that surrounds the topic probably not so much.
