Heavy rain is not expected in desert Saudi. But in the last few years, there has been frequent vanavashi around. Apart from climate change, artificial rainfall has also been blamed. In Saudi Arabia, rain is made by weaving clouds artificially. Ice particles are introduced into clouds to make them suitable for precipitation. This increases the weight of the ice particles, causing heavy rain. Besides, sodium chloride, potassium chloride are injected into the clouds with the help of airplanes. As a result, it rained there. But scientists fear that the balance of the environment is being lost while artificially raining.
