Malaysia is seeding clouds to combat smog from forest fires

This year, the fires are particularly bad, to the point where the Malaysian government is prepared to generate rain by seeding clouds., the special functions officer in the environment ministry, said"the moment the cloud situation is right, the chemicals will be loaded and the aircraft will take off and proceed with the seeding."
However, only certain aerosols are good for cloud formation. These aerosols, called ice-nucleating particles, allow ice to form at higher temperatures, which then creates clouds. Certain ice-nucleating particles can help seed rain. Seeding clouds artificially generates rain by providing suitable particles for ice nucleation. Silver iodide, potassium iodide or dry ice is sprayed from a plane. The particles disperse and can produce rain.Barcroft Media via Getty Images
