A team of Nevada scientists have been using a drone to control the weather. Engineers and meteorologists say they have created the first autonomous cloud seeding platform that could increase rainfall by 15 per cent. Cloud seeding involves spraying fine particles of silver iodide into a cloud system in an effort to boost the amount of rain that falls. A team of Nevada scientists have been using drones to control the weather. Microscopic particles of silver iodide are shot into existing clouds using land based generators or aircraft.
