ABU DHABI — Would you be surprised if it rains today? At this point of time in the year?

What, if you were told that it’s not the normal showers?

Well, it’s true! The Met Department at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) is expected to carry out tests to induce artificial rain in different parts of the country today, Khaleej Times has learnt.

Meanwhile, according to a recent agency report, the unseasonal rain in Abu Dhabi and other parts of the country experienced on Tuesday was ‘artificial’ too and “enhanced by the centre (NCMS)”.
