target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubai\u2019s record-shattering \u201crain bomb\u201d has clear climate change ties<\/a>,\u201d published April 17<sup>th<\/sup>, in the online news website AXIOS makes the claim that record rainfall received in one day in the city of Dubai United Arab Emirates (UAE), has a clear connection to climate change. This is false. Not only is AXIOS conflating weather events with long term climate change, other evidence suggests this was little more than a rare weather event, which has happened before according to weather history for the area, and weak city drainage infrastructure was unable to handle the excess water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article notes the heavy rainfall and poor drainage stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At least two years\u2019 worth of rain, or about 6.26 inches,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/wxjerdman\/status\/1780303943559434345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fell in just 24 hours<\/a>, qualifying as what have come to be known colloquially as \u201crain bombs\u201d for their ultra-heavy totals in such short periods of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This amount of rainfall in a single day would cause problems even in more temperate locations, let alone Dubai, a desert city with poor drainage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With over 6 inches of rain in a short time in a desert city that is not known for having infrastructure designed for large amounts of rain, it is not at all surprising that the drainage infrastructure could not handle an event like this, leading to street flooding. Freedman\u2019s article goes on to say that the heavy rainfall event was forecasted by weather models:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proximate cause of the flooding was a slow-moving and potent area of low pressure, or cold pocket of air aloft, that sparked complexes of severe thunderstorms over the United Arab Emirates and nearby countries on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This storm system, along with the threat of heavy rainfall, was shown by weather models several days in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is certainly true, for example in Figure 1 below, the ECMWF weather model output for April 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0shows significant rainfall for the area, with forecast color zones in excess of 6 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" data-attachment-id=\"321134\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=321134\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?fit=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"624,468\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-361\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?fit=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?resize=624%2C468&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-321134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?w=624&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-361.png?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Figure 1 \u2013 Forecast rainfall for the UAE on April 16th, source: weathermodels.com<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the forecast showed significant rain over the area, UAE\u2019s cloud seeding program apparently was put into action according to this article on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsable.asianetnews.com\/world\/dubai-floods-explained-is-cloud-seeding-to-blame-for-submerging-desert-city-snt-sc2m9h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newsable<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the 1990s, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been actively engaged in cloud seeding efforts, overseen by the National Center of Meteorology (NCM). This government agency manages the country\u2019s Rain Enhancement Program, utilizing a network of numerous weather stations to closely monitor atmospheric conditions for seeding operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahmed Habib, a specialist meteorologist at NCM, revealed to Bloomberg that seeding planes conducted seven missions over two days leading up to the heavy rainfall that inundated parts of the desert nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems like a simple case of a rare and intense short-term rainfall event, possibly juiced by cloud seeding. Since short-term weather models were used to forecast it, climate does not enter the picture. Long-term climate models could not have forecasted such an event because it is well below their time-scale of years to decades ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where Freedman\u2019s article goes off the rails is with this claim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/06\/26\/extreme-weather-precipitation-risks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">climate science studies<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/report\/ar6\/wg1\/chapter\/chapter-11\/#:~:text=The%20probability%20of%20compound%20flooding,associated%20with%20tropical%20cyclones%20(high\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">observations<\/a>&nbsp;around the world show that extreme rainfall events like this, including ones that break all-time records, are becoming more common and severe as the planet warms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moisture from the warm Persian Gulf fed into the thunderstorms in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, increased hydrological extremes, in both the form of drought and heavy rains, are one of the most robust ties to human-caused climate change, which is reshaping global weather patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freedman\u2019s conflation of a single day weather event with long-term climate is his first error.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climateataglance.com\/climate-at-a-glance-weather-vs-climate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Weather is not climate.<\/a>&nbsp;Further, his claim on hydrological extremes is baseless, because the latest scientific report from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows clearly that there is no linkage to climate change at all. Figure 2 shows Table 12.12 on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Page-90_-from-IPCC_AR6_WGI_Chapter12.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Page 90<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 Chapter 12 of the UN IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.

The color corresponds to the confidence of the region with the highest confidence: white colors indicate where evidence of a climate change signal is lacking or the signal is not present, leading to overall low confidence of an emerging signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The section on heavy precipitation is highlighted in yellow. Note that the white spaces in the table for heavy precipitation indicate that such events have not emerged in the present, nor are they expected to emerge by 2050 in the context of long-term climate change.
