In Kuala Lumpur, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad emphasized the importance of ensuring that cloud seeding operations are effective due to their costly and complex nature.
The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister highlighted the need to consider various factors such as cloud conditions and wind before conducting any cloud seeding activity.
He mentioned that the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) will provide guidance for cloud seeding operations to address the ongoing hot weather conditions.
Collaborating with the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), cloud seeding operations are only carried out when deemed appropriate.
Nik Nazmi also pointed out that these operations are not inexpensive, so their effectiveness is crucial when implemented.
On Saturday, he addressed the recent spike in heatstroke cases reported by the Health Ministry.
