A Tweet By The NCM Confirms That The Rains In This Emirate On Friday Were A Result Of Cloud Seeding
It’s wintertime so that must mean NATURAL rainfall time? …Well, think again because the National Center of Meteorology shared a tweet on Friday, December 6 stating that areas in the Fujairah Emirate could be facing varying levels of rainfall and hashtagged ‘cloud seeding’ in the tweet.
The rainy weather over areas in Fujairah is expected to continue till December 11. So, if you are planning a trip down to the Emirate, famous for its rugged mountains then do remember to carry an umbrella along and ditch those fancy sneakers at home.
All doubts CONFIRMED. The unexpected rains were an act of men and men alone…
