Even as countries in the Middle East try to tackle climate change with measures to reduce their carbon footprint, damage to the environment so far has already triggered volatile weather conditions. Be it staying up to speed about surroundings or planning a trip, weather updates have played an important role in our lives for decades.

When it comes to chasing storms, the Emirates has placed its trust in a nano-satellite recently launched to monitor climate change, years after launching KhalifaSat to assist disaster management. As those space vehicles relay data back to earth, the Emirati meteorological authority has made detailed info on weather accessible to UAE's netizens.

The national organisation's website has been made easy to use, and allows visitors to keep an eye on storms through maps generated via satellites. Emirati residents can also keep their ear to the ground to spot signs of a potential earthquake early on.

To make the process of watching out for cyclones more engaging, the site creates 3D models of clouds with real-time information from a radar. The resulting visuals can provide people insight into the formation of a cloud, and its impact on the environment.

This imaging tech even covers clouds stretched across an area of more than 100 kilometres, and lets experts look at them from all angles with the level of precision that lets them know the amount of water inside. The high-tech weather platform provides accurate predictions for the next 10 days, and also contains info on humidity, winds and atmospheric pressure alongside temperature.

With travelers getting ready to explore the world yet again after the pandemic, the app provides reports in climatic conditions in 10 major cities across the globe.

UAE's enhanced capacity to take stock of extreme climate, environmental pollution and possible calamities, is one of the benefits of its voyage into space. Even the country's Mars mission is primarily engaged in monitoring changes in the red planet's weather.
