 Beijing Weather Modification Offices Plans To Force Rain In anticipation of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China’s Weather Modification Office plans to use a process called cloud-seeding to force the rain and ensure clear skies. This is a controversial technique and it’s effectiveness is highly debateable, however, China is confident in it’s ability to control the elements and is forging ahead with their artificial rain control methods.  Chance of showers during the 2008 Beijing Olympics: 50 percent. But Chinese meteorologists have a plan to bring sunshine.
The meteorologists say they can force rain in the days before the Olympics, through a process known as cloud-seeding, to clean the air and ensure clear skies. China has been tinkering with artificial rainmaking for decades, but whether it works is a matter of debate among scientists.
