Natural rain or cloud seeding?

From Koran Tempo

Jakarta was again bathed in rain from Saturday to Tuesday and its citizens welcomed the long-awaited shower with joy. However, the question arose whether the rain was natural or artificial.

With the recent rain, it should not happen that what was natural is said to have been man-made. Therefore, the matter should be made transparent to avoid public suspicion, because all the requirements such as tons of salt and allocations have been met.

It is necessary to prevent the use of the budget without any rain created by artificial means. The good governance initiated by the Jakarta governor should mean that after the rain falls, the relevant budget issue must not just disappear without trace.

If any of the allocations remain, it can still be spent on, for instance, sanitary improvements and river dredging to avoid flooding.
