flash floods have caused massive disruption at dubai airport. meanwhile, on social media, there's been speculation about what caused these floods. so, what are the facts? marco silva reports. soon after images of the floods began circulating online, rumours started spreading about the causes of the storm. some users hinted that cloud seeding might be to blame for the intense rainfall, but scientists say that's misleading. so what exactly is cloud seeding? cloud seeding means manipulating existing clouds to help make it rain. this can be done from the air by dropping salts or small particles into clouds. water vapour can then condense more easily and turn into rain. it's a technique that has been around for decades, and the united arab emirates has been doing it for years to help deal with water shortages. yesterday, bloomberg reported that cloud seeding planes were deployed on sunday and monday, but not on tuesday when the flooding happened. while the bbc has so far been unable to independently verify that, scientists say that even if that was t
