The <strong>method known as &#8220;cloud seeding&#8221; allows the tiny droplets present in the clouds<\/strong> to increase, which are the ones that will fall as rain. However, experts insist that the use of AI is not miraculous, so more studies and innovations will be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>artificial intelligence method will increase precipitation by 10-15%<\/strong>, but it is not practical for all types of clouds; it only works with a select few. As the experts from the aforementioned institution state, this must be done at the right time and place, making the use of AI essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The revolutionary project that will improve the climate in Dubai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-1024x511.webp\" alt=\"The revolutionary project that will improve the climate in Dubai\" class=\"wp-image-13079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-1024x511.webp 1024w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-768x383.webp 768w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-150x75.webp 150w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-696x348.webp 696w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1-1068x533.webp 1068w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-eslames1-28718304-1.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>project received an investment of 1.5 million dollars from the United Arab Emirates<\/strong>. The researchers behind this system have studies of meteorological data, satellites, and radar feeding an algorithm that will indicate where the necessary clouds will form for cloud seeding. This is also aided by a team of professionals who continuously monitor the satellites and dispatch flights to generate the seeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a territory with an ever-increasing population,<strong> rain is necessary to encourage consumption, as well as agriculture<\/strong>. This phenomenon is not very common in the United Arab Emirates, but when it happens, many celebrate as if it were a true festivity. There is even an attraction where people pay to see the rain fall. This is the Raining Street in Dubai, where visitors spend 300 dirhams (81 dollars) to walk under a false precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climate challenges in Dubai and throughout the territory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-1024x584.webp\" alt=\"Climate challenges in Dubai and throughout the territory\" class=\"wp-image-13077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-1024x584.webp 1024w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-768x438.webp 768w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-1536x876.webp 1536w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-150x86.webp 150w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-696x397.webp 696w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1-1068x609.webp 1068w, https:\/\/noticias.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pexels-florian-kriechbaumer-1479976889-26926254-1.webp 1832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned at the International Forum on Precipitation Enhancement, this master plan faces challenges and difficulties.
