June is usually a hot month in Beijing. Hardly no rain. This year is different. Rain almost every day. And if it rains, it is always with lightning and thunder.
Is all the rain due to climate change? Or is it a pre-olympic phenomenen?
According to rumours, the Chinese authorities do everything they can to guarantee sunshine during the Olympic Games in August. They bombard the clouds with iodine crystals to make the water particles heavy enough to fall down as rain. Afterwards, the sun will shine for weeks.
Is that what we experience now? Is it a game with nature, where we have too little knowledge about the consequences? Or is the unusual weather already a consequence of our previous actions around the globe?
I heard August is usually a rainy month in Beijing. If we have sunshine at that time, then perhaps we can have a better guess about why we see the weather conditions that we see today.
