Old (Weather With Enthusiasm)

This episode focuses on one of the most fascinating places in the world for a heart and humidity enthusiast. As humid as the Gulf Of Mexico is (along with its surrounding states) it's power doesn't hold a candlestick to the Persian Gulf. This episode discusses some of the water temperatures that occur in the Persian Gulf. We discuss the impact this had on the historical floods that took place in parts of Iran, Onan and the United Arab Emirates. The main focus is the United Arab Emirates because it's easier to find weather information about the UAE and they also have a fascinating cloud seeding program. We discuss cloud seeding and the different approaches UAE uses vs. Israel. It should be noted that the highest widespread totals of rain may have occurred in Iran with several cities of 10+ inches. The source for that is AccuWeather. Nonetheless in this episode the main focus is the United Arab Emirates for the reasons mentioned above.  Was Cloud Seeding A Factor?  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support (
