Summary
- Canada is preparing for more heat and forest fires this summer after last year’s record wildfire season
- Cloud seeding, a method of human intervention to cause precipitation, is being explored as a potential tool to mitigate wildfires
- Warm cloud seeding involves injecting aerosol particles to create rain, while cold cloud seeding creates ice crystals in supercooled clouds
- Research is ongoing to determine the effectiveness of cloud seeding in fighting wildfires
