Times of India reports that a bad monsoon could be good for some. The monsoon has been late this year, worrying a government that's trying its best to revive the economy. But if the Indian weather gods don't feel propitiated enough to ensure that the rains fall in the right place at the right time, some are going to take matters into their own hands. They are planning to use cloud seeding to combat the worst effects of a dry monsoon, although there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how well the process works. Companies engaged in the business of cloud seeding expect demand to shoot up this year as the June-September southwest monsoon, the biggest source of irrigation for India's crops, has been playing truant.
How does cloud seeding impact regional or worldwide weather systems?
