Title Why is hail falling in the UAE in the middle of summer? Media name/outlet The National (UAE) Country/Territory United Arab Emirates Date 6/08/24 Description David Schultz, a professor of synoptic meteorology at the University of Manchester in the UK, said a number of factors, including a weather front or a sea breeze, could create an updraft capable of keeping ice particles in the atmosphere to form hail.
“What you need to start that updraft is usually a convergence of air coming from various locations. There are a number of ways that could happen,” he said.
The terrain could also cause an updraft, he said, with mountains able to cause the air movement required.Producer/Author Daniel Bardsley URL https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2024/08/06/why-is-hail-falling-in-the-uae-in-the-middle-of-summer/ Persons David Schultz
