And Sheikh Mo said "Let there be rain".....

Here's a story that, once I thought about it a bit, is really a bit creepy. We had some rain in Dubai yesterday and ArabianBusiness.com reports "Many UAE motorists making their way home on Tuesday would have put the dark skies and light rain down to just a freak occurrence, but in fact the unseasonably bad weather could have been manmade as scientists were carrying out tests to induce artificial rain.

The Meteorological Department at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) used aircraft to sprinkle cloud seeding salts in moist clouds heading towards Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain, reported state news agency Wam."
("Wam"?? You must be kidding? "Yes Ma'am I'm the man from Wam!")

"The monitoring stations subsequently registered light to medium rainfalls in different areas of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Wam said.

Motorists could be in for more bad weather as scientists are planning to repeat the tests again on Wednesday, according to the news agency
."

Maybe taking control of the weather is a way of ensuring that we all stay indoors next time a US President comes to town. If the Powers That Be want us to stay at home they'll just cause a rainstorm.
