▲In April 2024, heavy rain battered some [[Persian Gulf]] states, causing flash flooding across the region. Several states recorded nearly a year's worth of rain in a day. The floods had a significant impact across the region, with [[Oman]] and the [[United Arab Emirates]] being particularly affected,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Marisha |date=18 April 2024 |title=Unusual weather system brings rain to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain |url=https://gulfbusiness.com/unusual-weather-system-rain-saudi-arabia-bahrain/ |access-date=18 April 2024 |language=en-US}}</ref> killing at least 24 people, 19 of whom were in Oman.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 April 2024 |title=Heavy Rain and Floods Kill 19 in Oman and Disrupt Dubai Airport |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/17/us/dubai-flood-rain-oman-deaths.html |access-date=17 April 2024 |website=The New York Times |language=en-US |archive-date=17 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240417085343/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/17/us/dubai-flood-rain-oman-deaths.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Southeastern [[Iran]], [[Yemen]], as well as the [[Arab states of the Persian Gulf|Gulf states]] of [[Bahrain]], [[Qatar]], and the [[Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia|Eastern Province]] of [[Saudi Arabia]], also experienced heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding.

In the aftermath of the floods, some news outlets such as [[Bloomberg News|Bloomberg]] linked the heavy downpours to the UAE's [[cloud seeding]] program. <ref>{{Cite news |date=16 April 2024 |title=Dubai Grinds to Standstill as Cloud Seeding Worsens Flooding |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/dubai-grinds-to-standstill-as-cloud-seeding-worsens-flooding |access-date=18 April 2024 |work=Bloomberg.com |language=en |archive-date=17 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240417143209/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/dubai-grinds-to-standstill-as-cloud-seeding-worsens-flooding |url-status=live }}</ref> Scientists from the [[University of Reading]] denied that cloud seeding was to blame for the heavy rainfall, given that the large-scale weather pattern was predicted in advance, and was too large to be influenced by cloud seeding. They added that the effects of cloud seeding are typically short-lived, lasting for a few hours. Meteorologists from the University of Reading also stated the heavy rain was caused by large thunderstorms.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Knapton |first=Sarah |date=18 April 2024 |title=Reading University denies causing flooding in Dubai |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/18/university-of-reading-denies-causing-dubai-flooding/ |access-date=18 April 2024 |work=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |issn=0307-1235 |archive-date=18 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240418105018/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/18/university-of-reading-denies-causing-dubai-flooding/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Omar Al Yazeedi, the deputy director general of the UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), said the institution “did not conduct any seeding operations during this event”.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Did controversial 'cloud seeding' flights cause torrential downpours and huge flooding in Dubai? |url=https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uae-dubai-united-arab-emirtates-cloud-seeding-flooding-rainfall/ |access-date=17 April 2024 |website=LBC |language=en |archive-date=17 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240417153848/https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uae-dubai-united-arab-emirtates-cloud-seeding-flooding-rainfall/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Other news commentators have also dismissed the link to cloud seeding, stating that the technology marginally increases rainfall, and that the UAE's cloud seeding program is localised to the eastern part of the country, away from densely populated metropolitan areas.
