Editing Weather modification (section)

== In popular culture ==
[[Frank Herbert]]'s ''[[Dune (franchise)|Dune]]'' series features weather control technology, mainly on two planets: [[Arrakis]], where the technology is used by the Fremen to assure privacy from observation and hide their true population and their plans to [[Terraforming|terraform]] the planet from the [[Organizations of the Dune universe|Imperium]]; and, [[Chapterhouse (Dune)|Chapterhouse]], where the [[Bene Gesserit]] intend to turn the planet into a desert.

The ability to manipulate the weather has become a common [[Superpower (ability)|superpower]] in [[superhero fiction]]. A notable example is the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]].

In the children's book ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'', the fictional town of Chewandswallow has weather that rains down food instead of actual rain or snow, which becomes so extreme it forces its citizens to move to a different town. This was adapted into a [[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (film)|movie]] where Flint Lockwood, the town's outcast and scientist, has created a machine that converts water from the clouds into food.

In the Star Trek franchise, the United Federation of Planets has weather modification technology, in addition to terraforming capabilities.
