DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: The United Arab Emirates attempted to dry out Wednesday from the heaviest rain the desert nation has ever recorded — a deluge that flooded out Dubai International Airport and disrupted flights through the world's busiest airfield for international travel.The state-run WAM news agency called the rain Tuesday 'a historic weather event' that surpassed 'anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.
Given the size of the storm, any seeding effort would simply be pointless,' he said. 'Nature is already doing the job perfectly well.'Scientists also say climate change in general is responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme storms, droughts, floods and wildfires around the world. Dubai hosted the United Nations' COP28 climate talks just last year.
