It's raining snails in an Arab country… What's the truth behind the video?

Arab Weather Center has observed a video circulating on social media platforms showing what is claimed to be large quantities of snails falling from the sky in the UAE, sparking widespread controversy and questions about the validity of this phenomenon.

What is the truth behind the video clip showing snails falling from the sky?

The Arab Weather Center confirmed that the video was created using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, and does not reflect any natural event that actually occurred in the country. Although rare cases have been recorded globally of some small living organisms such as fish or frogs falling due to water tornadoes or strong storms, the falling of snails in this manner is not scientifically possible.

The video was attributed to the United Arab Emirates and circulated on multiple platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
However, no official or concerned party has issued any statement confirming the occurrence of this phenomenon, which confirms that the video is not real and is not based on any field observation.

The Arab Weather Center warned against the spread of fake news and videos, especially those related to strange weather phenomena, which may cause panic or anxiety among citizens and residents. The center stressed the need to verify official sources before sharing any content, to avoid spreading inaccurate or misleading information.

Following the news from official sources and trusted applications, such as the Arab Weather app, is the surest way to know the true weather conditions.
