There has been ongoing research into the potential manipulation of weather patterns through techniques known as geoengineering, though much of this work is still experimental and highly debated within the scientific community. One notable example of weather modification efforts includes cloud seeding, a process where chemicals like silver iodide are dispersed into clouds to encourage precipitation. Some studies suggest that similar methods could influence larger weather systems, such as hurrican
