Was The Dubai Flood Caused By Cloud Seeding?

Dubai, a city synonymous with luxury and innovation, recently faced an extraordinary challenge as it witnessed its heaviest rainfall in 75 years leading to the Dubai Flood. The downpour led to widespread flooding, disrupting daily life and raising questions about the city’s preparedness for such rare climatic events. Let’s have a closer look at the events that took place.

A Record Breaking Flood

In less than a day, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) received almost 10 inches of rain, which overflowed the drainage systems and drowned highways and airport runways. This exceptional weather occurrence exceeded all recorded records since the start of data gathering in 1949.

The swelling floodwaters strained Dubai’s infrastructure, built for dry conditions. Roads in the normally tranquil city turned into rivers, and the well-known Dubai International Airport experienced turmoil with stranded travelers and delayed flights. The emergency response included deploying pumps and emergency services, but the floods’ extent calls for a re-evaluation of urban planning and disaster preparedness.

Busting The Myth Of Dubai’s Cloud Seeding

Amidst the chaos, speculation arose about the role of cloud seeding in the torrential rains. However, experts have clarified that cloud seeding cannot create such extreme weather events. The practice, which the UAE has used to address water shortages, involves enhancing precipitation from existing clouds, not generating storms.

Meteorologists attributed the significant rainfall to a “cut-off” low-pressure weather system that pulled in warm, humid air and blocked other weather systems from moving through. This uncommon natural phenomenon reminds us of the natural world’s force and the importance of understanding local weather trends.

Climate Change And Future Of Dubai

The intensity of the rainfall is consistent with the impacts of a warming climate, even if it is difficult to explicitly link a particular weather event to climate change. More moisture may be retained in a warmer environment, which might lead to an increase in future rain events’ frequency and severity.

The recent Dubai Flood should serve as a warning to other cities throughout the world. It’s critical that we modify our emergency protocols and infrastructure in response to the changing environment so that they can withstand unforeseen events. The story of Dubai’s flood teaches us not just the value of being prepared but also about the might of nature.

“If given the opportunity to work in Bollywood, which one of the three Khans would you like to work with?Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, or Shahrukh Khan?”

This Pakistani Family Challenges Medical Odds With 'Right-Sided' Hearts

In the southern province of Sindh, Pakistan, there’s a village called Selra,  within the Qambar Shahdadkot district. In this village lives a family unlike any other. Led by Khuda Bux Selro, a 53-year-old man, this family of six has captured the attention of their community and beyond because their hearts beat on the right side of their chests.

Defying Medical Odds

This condition, known as Dextrocardia, is incredibly rare, affecting less than 1% of people. It means that instead of their hearts being on the left side, like most people, theirs are on the right. But despite this unique difference, the family leads remarkably normal and healthy lives.

Khuda Bux, the head of the household, dreams of having their extraordinary situation recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. He sees their story not as a burden but as a badge of honor, something that sets them apart in a world where everyone strives to be noticed.

Dextrocardia isn’t something that happens later in life; it’s something people are born with. For the Selro family, it’s a part of who they are. They don’t let it define them; instead, they embrace it as a part of their identity.

Embracing Uniqueness

Their story is fascinating because it challenges our understanding of what’s considered normal. In a world where conformity often reigns supreme, the Selro family stands as a shining example of resilience and acceptance. They show us that being different isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength.

Their journey reminds us to celebrate our uniqueness and to embrace the things that make us stand out. It’s a powerful message of acceptance and self-love that resonates far beyond the borders of their village. And as they continue to live their lives with courage and dignity, they inspire others to do the same.

Mohammad Hafeez Opens Up About ‘RIP Pakistan Domestic Cricket’ Remark

mohammad-hafeez-alleges-amir-imad-treating-t20-world-cup-as-franchise-league-

Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has voiced concern regarding the selection criteria and player inclusions in the national cricket team.

Expressing his reservations, Hafeez took to social media to voice his concerns, particularly regarding the absence of certain players from domestic cricket.

He posted “#RIP Pakistan domestic cricket” on his official X (formerly Twitter) account after the announcement of Pakistan’s squad for T20I series against New Zealand.

In a recent interview, Hafeez elaborated on his post, shedding light on the rationale behind his statement.

He questioned the selection committee’s decision to recall players like Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir, who have been absent from domestic cricket for an extended period.

Addressing the comeback of Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir to the national team despite their prolonged absence from domestic cricket, Hafeez raised valid concerns.

“We have two players, Imad and Amir, who have not played domestic cricket for many years, they were brought back in the team,” stated Hafeez.

He highlighted Amir’s hiatus of 3-4 years from domestic cricket, coupled with his retirement, yet his inclusion in the team.

mohammad-amir-fitness-regime

Furthermore, Hafeez expressed reservations about Imad Wasim’s return, citing his lack of participation in domestic cricket and his preference for league cricket over national representation in past.

“Imad Wasim had some objections. But, I talked to him and told him that whatever has happened has happened in past, we will look after you going forward if you play for Pakistan. However, he said no. He wanted to play leagues, but he was brought back.”

For the unversed, Hafeez as team director requested both Amir and Wasim to reconsider their international retirements but the players denied.

imad-wasim-faces-roadblock-in-international-cricket-return

In addition, Hafeez underscored the demotivating impact of such selections on aspiring cricketers in the domestic circuit, particularly highlighting the case of Usman Khan.

While acknowledging Khan’s talent, Hafeez emphasized the disconnection between selection criteria and domestic cricket performance, expressing concern for the future motivation of domestic players.

“I have great respect for Usman Khan’s talent, but he is not part of Pakistan’s system. How will you motivate thousands of cricketers in the domestic circuit who work day and night and play domestic cricket when your selection criteria is not based on domestic cricket performance?”

usman-khan-pakistan

“That’s why I tweeted that after the inclusion of these three players, you have killed your domestic cricket,” he concluded.

Hafeez’s critique sheds light on the discrepancies in Pakistan cricket’s selection process, raising questions about the importance and recognition of domestic cricket talent.

His remarks underscore the need for a more transparent and merit-based approach to player selection, ensuring that domestic cricket remains a vital pathway for aspiring cricketers in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s white-ball captain, Babar Azam, has dispelled rumors of discord with pacer Shaheen Afridi, asserting their strong camaraderie and shared commitment to Pakistan’s success.

In a press conference ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand, Babar Azam expressed surprise at the rumors circulating on social media regarding his rumored rift with Shaheen Afridi.

“I get surprised with the rumours I see on social media. Shaheen and I have a great bonding. Our target is only to play and win matches for our country. Pakistan is our only priority,” Azam stated.

For the unversed, following Azam’s removal as captain across all formats post the ICC World Cup 2023, Shaheen Afridi briefly assumed the role of Pakistan’s T20I skipper. However, Afrdi’s captaincy stint concluded after just one series against New Zealand in January.

With the appointment of Mohsin Naqvi as the new chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and a revamped selection committee, Babar Azam was reinstated as captain, deemed the ideal leader for the team.

Addressing speculations surrounding his relationship with Shaheen, Babar Azam emphasized their strong bond and singular focus on achieving victories for Pakistan.

Meanwhile, sources close to Afridi reveal a sense of discontent with the PCB’s handling of his captaincy removal, citing communication lapses and a fabricated statement issued in his name.

Pakistan is set to host New Zealand in the opening T20I of the five-match series at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, marking Azam’s return to captaincy.
