Make It Rain
In an attempt to bring the air quality index down from extremely hazardous levels, officials have begun seeding clouds to make it rain in Pakistan’s capital of Lahore.
As The Guardian reports, the city of 13 million people has been choked by an unrelenting blanket of smog. Earlier this month, air quality levels were so low that the city was forced to shut down schools, markets, and parks.
In a last ditch effort to address the increasingly dire situation, the Punjab government sent a small Cessna plane to fly over the city, spraying a table salt solution over existing cloud patches to produce rain.
