When an unexpected rainstorm leaves you soaking wet, it is an annoyance.



When a drought leads to fires, crop failures and water shortages, the significance of weather becomes vitally important.

In this episode of “The Conversation Weekly,” we speak with three researchers about the simple yet murky science of cloud seeding, the economic effects it can have on agriculture, and research that may allow governments to use cloud seeding in more places.
