Malaysia Deploys Air Force
Air force jets to seed clouds over 3 haze-hit areas this weekend, weather permitting
Malaysia has deployed air force aircraft for cloud seeding operations to combat worsening haze conditions in the country. The operations will be carried out in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya.
The cloud seeding operations are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but are subject to weather conditions and the availability of suitable clouds for the seeding process. This means that the success of the operations depends on the right weather conditions.
The National Disaster Management Agency's director general, Meor Ismail Meor Akim, announced the plans for cloud seeding operations. The agency is responsible for managing and responding to disasters in Malaysia, including the current haze situation.
## Why it matters The haze conditions in Malaysia have been worsening, prompting the government to take action to mitigate the situation. Cloud seeding is a technique used to enhance precipitation, which can help to reduce the haze. The operations in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya aim to bring relief to these affected areas.
The success of the cloud seeding operations will depend on various factors, including the weather conditions and the effectiveness of the seeding process. The National Disaster Management Agency will be monitoring the situation closely and adjusting their plans as needed.
