Dubai, a desert nation in the Middle East, experienced an unusual event recently. The city witnessed two consecutive days of heavy rain, a rare occurrence for a place known for its dry climate. The downpour was so intense that authorities had to temporarily close Dubai Airport, one of the busiest and most advanced airports globally.
According to the Department of Meteorology, Dubai hadn’t seen such significant rainfall in the last 75 years. However, amidst the discussion about the flooding, another unusual phenomenon caught everyone’s attention: the sky turned a mysterious green color.
A viral video on social media captured the moment when the sky gradually changed from black to green, surprising residents and sparking speculation about its cause. While some consider it a mysterious event, experts suggest that the sky can appear green before a storm.
Authorities are conducting experiments to understand the reason behind the peculiar green hue of the sky. Although the authenticity of the video has been questioned by some, the Dubai Meteorological Department confirms the unprecedented amount of rainfall. The rainfall recorded in 24 hours equaled what Dubai typically receives in a year and a half.
Dubai residents, accustomed to dry weather, found the scenes unfamiliar and unsettling. Despite the city’s history of introducing artificial rainfall, the sudden and excessive downpour remains a mystery. Environmentalists attribute the event to global warming, highlighting its potential impact on weather patterns.
