“The United Arab Emirates is creating its own rain using drones that fly into clouds and unleash electrical charges to beat the sweltering 50 degrees Celsius heat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rain is formed using drone technology that gives clouds an electric shock to ‘cajole them’ into clumping together and producing precipitation.<\/p>\n
The UAE is one of the most arid countries on Earth, and it hopes the technique could help to increase its meagre annual rainfall. The technique is called cloud seeding.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Microscopic particles of silver iodide are shot into existing clouds using land based generators or aircraft.<\/p>\n
Silver iodide is an ice-forming agent, which causes supercooled water droplets to freeze in the clouds.<\/p>\n
The ‘ice embryos’ interact with the surrounding water droplets, and eventually grow to snowflakes.<\/p>\n
These fall to the ground as snow or raindrops, depending on the surface temperatures.<\/p>\n
Cloud seeding can also, in some cases, cause the cloud to grow larger and last longer than it would have without the modification.”<\/p>\n
