Record rainfall has caused significant damage in the United Arab Emirates with unprecedented images going around the world. Could the Dubai floods have been predicted or avoided? The director of the National Meteorological Service, Thodoris Kolidas, in his post responds as follows: “The dynamics of the atmosphere and the forecast data, already three days ago had signaled that a violent bad weather was coming. With its passage, this bad weather, although it left behind many problems with human losses, it “taught” us that the signals produced by numerical forecasting models are becoming day by day more reliable and we should always take them into account. In the article we find that the heavy rains and the floods could ultimately be predicted, but could not be avoided by anything, mainly due to insufficient infrastructure and urban planning in particular”.
