Why or why can’t we use cloud seeding to fight forest fires?

950 views

I recently learned that making man made clouds are a real thing that have been used to stave off droughts and that parts of China have been regularly using this tech. If so, can we use it to fight forest fires like the fires that have been so devastating in Australia? If not, why?

You need clouds to start with. Cloud seeding just gives the moisture in clouds something to form drops around, so it just makes sense in the narrow band of conditions between rain clouds forming and it raining anyway.

Seeding the Australian air to make rain works as well as throwing seeds at your blow drier to make crops.
