Experts refute claims of 'stolen' rain
Meteorologists in Turkey and Iraq have dismissed claims that recent heavy rainfall in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey is a result of weather manipulation by the United States and its allies. Allegations suggested that cloud seeding aircraft were grounded due to regional conflicts, leading to the return of 'stolen' rains. However, experts emphasize that cloud seeding can only affect local areas up to 100 kilometers and increase precipitation by 15-20%, without altering large-scale weather systems.
