Cloud seeding: Why Delhi's artificial rain experiment to tackle toxic air failed

Delhi's first cloud seeding experiment in over 50 years aimed to combat air pollution but fell short due to uncooperative weather. Despite no rain, the experiment showed a measurable drop in particulate matter, indicating a short-term improvement in air quality. However, experts warn that cloud seeding is not a long-term solution and comes with significant question marks, including high costs, dependence on weather conditions, and potential impacts on natural processes.
