Don't mess with nature you fools. It will rain when it rains.

Would be easier to look at the FIRMS fire map and start arresting people who are setting the fires in CM and Mae Hong Song. There were hundreds over the last 24 hours.

 

Ahh, fill the reservoirs with smoggy water,  OK I get it.

Firstly you need some reasonably good clouds to seed with silver iodide and many scientists pour scorn over the idea as the science is pretty shaky. It might be possible to intensify an existing storm in this way, but pulling storms out of hot cloudless air is nonsense. This subject does keep coming back though due to severe water shortages in so many places...so hope springs eternal, I guess.
