Officials in Dubai are using drones to artificially increase rainfall as the city grapples with oppressive heat.
The rainmaking technology, known as “cloud seeding,” was put into use as summer temperatures surged past 49C in the United Arab Emirates city.
Experts have said the technology aims to make rain form more efficiently inside clouds and in doing so, make more water come down.
Rainmaking has become common in dry countries such as the UAE, which typically only records 10cm of rain a year, the Independent reported.
