Weather control is the act of manipulating or altering certain aspects of the environment to produce desirable changes in weather.
History of weather control
Some American Indians had rituals which they believed could induce rain. The Finnish people, on the other hand, were believed by others to be able to control all weather. Thus Vikings refused to take Finns on their raids by sea. Remnants of this belief lasted well into the modern age, with many ship crews being reluctant to accept Finnish sailors.
The early modern era saw people observe that during battles the firing of cannons and other firearms often initiated precipitation. The first example of practical weather control is the lightning rod.
