Zahid: Cloud seeding targets haze‑hit areas and dams with falling water levels

Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced that cloud seeding operations are being conducted in haze-affected areas and locations with declining dam water levels. The weather modification technique, carried out in collaboration with the Malaysian Meteorological Department and the Royal Malaysian Air Force, aims to prevent water supply disruptions during the hot weather.

The operations are set to continue in Sarawak, Kedah, and Perlis from September 3 to 5. The move comes as three areas in Sarawak, including Serian, Samarahan, and Kuching, recorded hazardous Air Pollutant Index (API) readings ranging from 304 to 412.
