The Persian Gulf region is known for its hot and dry weather, though heavy rains causing flooding have also occurred with greater regularity in recent years. [5] [6] Britain's Royal Meteorological Society stated that the likely cause is a mesoscale convective system. [7]
According to the National Center for Meteorology (United Arab Emirates), this was the country's heaviest rainfall recorded in 75 years. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The floods in the Emirates were a part of the greater Persian Gulf floods .
October 25, 1948 – A storm moved through much of the eastern Arabian Peninsula, crossing from Salalah, Oman, and dissipating in the Persian Gulf near the United Arab Emirates. [48] The storm dropped 156 mm (6.1 in) of rainfall in Salalah, which later contributed to a locust outbreak. [6]
The United Arab Emirates is one of the first countries in the Persian Gulf region to use cloud seeding technology. UAE scientists use cloud seeding technology to supplement the country's water insecurity, which stems from the extremely hot climate. [ 2 ]
The total length of the Wadi Hadf is 27 km (17 mi), of which 13 km (8.1 mi) run in Omani territory and 14 km (8.7 mi) in Emirati territory.Its river source is located at an approximate altitude of 1,130 m (3,710 ft), on the northwest slope and a very short distance from the summit of Jabal Hatta, [6] also known as Um Alnosoor (1,280 m (4,200 ft)).
Another rapid assessment looked at total rainfall over the full three-day rain event and concluded it's likely the heat content in the Gulf contributed to both Helen’s rapid intensification and ...

Of the small rivers and streams, the only one that is navigable is the 830 kilometres (520 mi)-long Karun , which shallow-draft boats can negotiate ...
