Also ideal for Cyprus? Artificial rain like in Dubai.... video

Perhaps also an idea for Cyprus in order to reduce the risk of forest fires... the second video shows how much rain came down in places.

You need clouds for that. We've had some over the last couple of days but other than that its been a sheet of blue.

Now if they found out how to turn the dust clouds into rain it would be a winner!

I cannot believe that this would be viable without knowing what the effects would be after the event. For example, I suggest that, where the cloud was, it would become drier and hotter – what effect would that have? It is very easy to be an unwitting sorcerer's apprentice.

We have plenty of clouds in June/July/Aug if you turn your look towards the mountains. As I have a good position were I live, like a lookout, to confirm that in the month you need the rain they are there. Not at the seasides, mostly blue skys, but in areas with forests where you want the rain...
I had a look at my photo gallery p.e. 2018 and can prove some clouds if you like :)

I seem to recall there being a lot of rain in 2018 anyway.

Surely you are also removing rainfall that was going to another country perhaps to grow crops. If the air does not pass over a large expanse of water it will not pick up any more moisture so you could be creating famine in other lands
