**1. Introduction**

The average annual temperatures in the south of the peninsula reach maximum values throughout the entire Eurasian continent—about 30°C [1]. In most of Arabia, precipitation is confined to the winter–spring period. In the Rub al-Khali desert, precipitation may not fall for more than five years. The climatic regime of Arabia is characterized by a large role of winds. In winter, the cold northern wind *temal* dominates, accompanied by strong squalls, sometimes short showers and thunderstorms. In spring and early summer, the south sultry wind *simum* is common, which carries large masses of sand, particles of which could theoretically play the role of coagulants, but the absence of condensate in the atmosphere does not contribute to the formation of clouds. A small amount of precipitation determines the lack of drainage of most of the territory and low availability of water resources.

Throughout most of the territory of Arabia, continental tropical air prevails throughout the year, causing an almost complete absence of precipitation. In the cold half of the year, the Arabian Peninsula falls under the influence of the subtropical maximum. During the summer, the entire region is occupied by an extensive baric

depression centered in the Indus basin. The continental tropical air that forms here is very dry. Only on the coast, its moisture content in the lower layers increases greatly.

As can be seen from **Figure 1**, during the whole year, the circulation conditions of air masses do not favor precipitation. Even in coastal areas, air humidification is insufficient for the necessary saturation with moisture, which guarantees the condensation of water vapor and the coagulation of cloud droplets that form thunderclouds.

Under natural conditions, convective clouds form due to high temperatures. They cause warm, moist air to rise from the colder ambient air into the atmosphere. The National Meteorological Center conducts regular cloud-seeding operations to increase precipitation. The target is convective clouds, which can cause precipitation and winds up to 40 km/h, which carry dust and sand.

Such a climate does not allow the sustainable development of new territories, leaving them unsuitable for human life. The UAE government faces the task of creating a controlled climate that will allow to live in comfortable conditions based on the use of modern methods of increasing humidity and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Heavy artificial rain occurred in several regions of the United Arab Emirates at the height of the July 2021 heat wave, when temperatures reached 48°C. They were provoked during tests of unmanned aerial vehicles capable of causing precipitation by applying an electric current to clouds without the use of chemicals. However, this approach to solving the problem of rainfall management is not stable. It does not increase the moisture content in convective clouds and is not able to form their artificial nuclei.

We have proposed a completely different approach to solving this problem. Its main difference lies in humidifying the atmosphere by artificially saturating it with seawater vapors, condensing them into micro droplets of cloud fog and a controlled process of coagulation of moisture droplets to the size necessary for the formation of thunderclouds at a given horizon height.
