Pada bulan April 2024, hujan deras melanda beberapa negara bagian [[Teluk Persia]], menyebabkan banjir bandang di seluruh wilayah tersebut. Beberapa negara bagian mencatat curah hujan yang hampir sama dengan curah hujan selama satu tahun dalam satu hari. Banjir tersebut memiliki dampak yang signifikan di seluruh wilayah, dengan [[Oman]] dan Uni [[United Arab Emirates|Emirat Arab]] yang paling terdampak.<sup><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/|language=en-US|access-date=18 April 2024}}</ref></sup> Sedikitnya 24 orang tewas, 19 di antaranya di 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|website=The New York Times|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240417085343/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/17/us/dubai-flood-rain-oman-deaths.html|archive-date=17 April 2024|access-date=17 April 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Iran]] tenggara, [[Yemen|Yaman]], serta [[Negara-negara Arab di Teluk Persia|negara-negara Teluk]] [[Bahrain]], [[Qatar]], dan [[Syarqiyah, Arab Saudi|Provinsi Timur]] [[Saudi Arabia|Arab Saudi]], juga mengalami curah hujan yang tinggi dan banjir.

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.

Pada bulan April 2024, hujan deras melanda beberapa negara bagian Teluk Persia, menyebabkan banjir bandang di seluruh wilayah tersebut. Beberapa negara bagian mencatat curah hujan yang hampir sama dengan curah hujan selama satu tahun dalam satu hari. Banjir tersebut memiliki dampak yang signifikan di seluruh wilayah, dengan Oman dan Uni Emirat Arab yang paling terdampak.[1] Sedikitnya 24 orang tewas, 19 di antaranya di Oman.[2] Iran tenggara, Yaman, serta negara-negara Teluk Bahrain, Qatar, dan Provinsi Timur Arab Saudi, juga mengalami curah hujan yang tinggi dan banjir.

Latar belakang

Wilayah Teluk Persia dikenal dengan cuaca yang panas dan kering, meskipun hujan lebat yang menyebabkan banjir juga telah terjadi dengan frekuensi yang lebih besar dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.[3] Karena iklim gurun yang gersang dan suhu yang tinggi, penyemaian awan telah digunakan di Uni Emirat Arab untuk mengatasi kelangkaan air.[4] Pembuatan hujan buatan telah dikritik karena dampak lingkungan akibat penggunaan bahan penyemaian yang berbahaya, tetapi di UEA garam alami digunakan sebagai bahan penyemaian alih-alih bahan kimia berbahaya seperti perak iodida.[5] Atas pertimbangan UEA menjadi salah satu wilayah terpanas dan terkering di dunia, Program Penelitian UEA untuk Sains Peningkatan Hujan telah berinvestasi mencari solusi baru mengatasi kekurangan air yang diperkirakan akan terjadi di negara ini.[6] Komentator lain telah mengaitkan cuaca yang tidak biasa ini dengan perubahan iklim. [7][8] Para ahli mengatakan bahwa penyemaian awan hanya akan memberikan efek minimal dan bahwa berfokus pada penyemaian awan adalah "keliru."[9] Wilayah ini sebelumnya telah dilanda gelombang panas dan angin topan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir,[10] dan dengan meningkatnya suhu dan tingkat kelembapan, para peneliti memperkirakan adanya peningkatan risiko banjir di Teluk.[11]

In the aftermath of the floods, some news outlets such as Bloomberg linked the heavy downpours to the UAE's cloud seeding program. [12] 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.
