I remember watching a show on History TV18, where a guy was in a farm and the farm owner was using some kind of a blasting device to reduce the effect of a snowfall so that his fruit crop would not be affected. Firecrackers can be made to go higher up. Yeah, I should have tried sending one in the sky before posting this question.

@mmt10 I've always been skeptical of cloud seeding, but believe some studies have shown it to have limited production (based upon what I've heard from meteorologists working in the field)... including limiting extreme hail size. So you'd need to more concrete to support such claims (likewise on the environmental impacts).

# Can firecrackers be used to subside thunderstorms due to cumulonimbus clouds

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-09-23)

Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms. Firecrackers which go up high in the sky and then burst into glittering show, can such crackers be injected in a cumulonimbus cloud and then burst to create a cloud seeding effect thus subsiding all the momentum building up in those clouds which can cause thunderstorms?
