Artificial Rain in Dubai



CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

It was an artificial rain !!

Done by the meteorological department at the national centre of meteorology and seismology (NCMS)

To remove the air pollution on Dubai's atmosphere..

It is called 'cloud seeding' a latest technology to customise weather..



Cloud seeding, a form of weather modification, is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei. The usual intent is to increase precipitation, but hail suppression is also widely practiced. Silver iodide and dry ice are the most commonly used substances in cloud seeding technology





An aircraft is putting dry ice on clouds which makes artificial rain

More rains are expected on these summer days...

Happy chilling out Dubai'ians!

World's Highest "Open Air" Escalator

World's Highest "Open Air" Escalator


The Umeda Sky Building is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan, and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. It consists of two 40-story towers that connect at their two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center. The escalator ride is an event in itself as it feels like you are floating up into the sky. They lead to the observation area of the twin towers.

Located in the Umeda district of Kita-ku, the building was originally conceived in 1988 as the "City of Air" project, which planned to create four interconnected towers in northern Osaka. Eventually, practical considerations brought the number of towers down to two.
