Arab Weather - From time to time, a lot of controversy is raised on social media platforms on the fact that the concerned authorities in the Kingdom use the techniques of breaking clouds in the sky of the city of Jeddah, by using planes that spray chemicals that destroy clouds and dismantle them, according to the claim of the owners of these rumors And, due to the fear of repeated floods and torrential rain in Jeddah in several previous cases.

 

Here, a number of proven facts must be highlighted about the process of dispersing the clouds and clarifying some points of controversy:

 

  • The technology of dispersing clouds was tried in China in 2008 during the Winter Games in order to prevent rain on the stadiums.

 

  • The experiment was carried out on weak clouds, carrying small amounts of rain, which makes the results of the experiment not generalizable and its impact on strong rainstorms cannot be measured.

 

  • China’s experience has achieved only 20% of its targets “on weak clouds”!

 

  • If there were real and tangible results to break up the clouds, they would have been used by the world's major countries to destroy hurricanes in the oceans before they reached the coasts, and they would show with it heavy rains and devastating floods.

 

  • The white lines that planes leave behind in the Jeddah sky at times, which are said to be the result of deliberately spraying them to "cloud gas" to disperse clouds, are only condensation of gases and hot fumes that jet engines emit with cold air when they fly at an altitude of "8 - 12" km.

 

  • There is no evidence that there is technology in the world capable of stopping abundant rainfall. All that is raised and talked about is only in the process of experiments and theories
