China controls the rain?

Here's the story from Yahoo News about China:\n\n\nArtificial rain washes dust from Chinese capital Fri May 5, 5:25 AM ET\n \n\n\nBEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese technicians have artificially generated heavy rainfall to wash a layer of sand and dust off Beijing, the official Xinhua news agency said on Friday. \n \nThe Chinese capital was hit by a fierce wind storm last month which left the city cloaked in sand, much of it scooped up from the Gobi desert.\n\nThe Beijing Weather Modification Office responded Thursday with a major cloud seeding operation.\n\n"A total of 163 pieces of cigarette-like sticks containing silver iodide were burned and seven rocket shells were launched in six districts and counties, which resulted in the heaviest rainfall in Beijing this spring," Xinhua said.\n\nAlthough the science of weather seeding is controversial and some doubt its effectiveness, China often seeds clouds in an effort to end droughts in the arid north.

Just a silly way to answer.\n\nIf it is Saturday, it is Saturday, but if it rains, then it is a rainy day.

HAARP. Their goal is to control the weather by 2025. I believe they have been messing around with it for years. \n\nThe military has been seeding clouds for years now, and has made leaps and bounds with the program. Although i doubt that anyone could create a storm with katrinas magnitude. Besides that, why on earth would AMERICAN military want to create a storm that would hit AMERICAN soil? Their funding comes from a healthy economy, stunting that system with a multi-billion dollar storm (or storms) simply defeats their plan.\n\nTheir hope is to be able to redirect major weather events, to dispell them, or to create rain in places of drought. I dont believe they have intentions of using this as a weapon, since it wouldnt make a very good one.\n\nThis same program though, has found ways of directing high frequency sound waves over a populus and causing severe nausia and head aches. This is the only thing they have considered using as a weapon, although i havent heard anything about it since the late 90's.

yes scientists say that they tend to get angry when it rains

Oh, yeah!  Wasn't always this way.  Used to be, money came in, money went out.  When it rained, we pulled out the credit cards.  When we learned what a stupid way this was to manage OUR money, we paid-off the credit cards, set-up an emergency fund and haven't had any rainy days since.  OK, it has rained, but the emergency fund has been our umbrella and we haven't gotten soaked.\n\nI don't care how little you make, an emergency fund is a MUST for everyone who is breathing (even before paying off the credit cards).

Not really. BUT, through cloud seeding we are now reducing the damage that hail stones cause to crops. if there were a way to do this so tha rain fell in a different place then the application could be used as a tool by the military. they could force drought on areas that rely on rain for their economy or cause flooding in areas that already  receive sufficient rain-fall. the technology exists but is not really practical as the scale of an operation would be prohibitive (not to mention that doing these things would take time and the military likes quick and clean operations. (unlike Iraq)

Rain.  you are describing the dewpoint.

It rained every Thursday - or at least it did somewhere in the World.\n\nPerhaps if you specified a geographical location then a local meteorologist might be able to give you the answer you're seeking.

Yes.  Match has not started due to rain.

Anyone who thinks man can control the weather has no concept of the energy involved in a simple thunderstorm not to mention a tornado or hurricane. \n\nBut before you can control the weather, you need to be able to predict it. So when the weather forecasts become accurate, I'll start worrying about the government controlling.

Yes, it's common for raindrops to collide after they start to fall. The more wind there is the more collisions are likely.

Yes. I have seen them use it in an island in the Caribbean.  Every day at 12:00pm they provoked rain. They kept the experiment going for nearly three years (1999-2001).
