Abstract

This review synthesizes evidence‑based advances in weather modification achieved during 2010–2025, with emphasis on precipitation management and fog dissipation. It assesses results from randomized and/or instrumentally verified field campaigns (e.g., SNOWIE, WWMPP), recent electric (reagent‑free) approaches, contemporary operational‑planning methods, and reproducible fog experiments. Priorities for adaptation in Uzbekistan are outlined
