Cloud Seeding Operation Records Rainfall
BOHOL - The province’s cloud seeding operation conducted its first sortie on November 5, 2026, under Flight No. 14. The aerial activity took place from 11:15 AM to 11:26 AM after suitable cloud formations were observed at around 10:30 AM. Satellite images showed cloud development over the target area during and after the operation, providing information for monitoring the activity.
Eastern Communities Receive Light Showers
Rainfall monitoring through the RainViewer App recorded light rains from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with amounts ranging from 1.5 millimeters to 1.7 millimeters. The areas reporting rainfall included Katipunan, Governor Boyles, Buenasuerte, Bagumabayan, Cansungay, San Miguel, Babag, Untaga, Sudlon, Cagong Cagong, Candelaria, Rizal, Los Angeles, La Suerte, Villa Teresita, and Santo Niño. The recorded showers provided additional moisture to the ground in these communities.
Monitoring Helps Guide Future Operations
The rainfall observations offer useful information as Bohol continues its efforts to reduce the effects of dry weather. Further cloud monitoring and rainfall assessments will help determine the results of succeeding sorties and identify areas that may benefit from additional operations. For farmers and communities that depend on reliable water supplies, these efforts form part of a broader response to changing weather conditions and the need to protect agricultural resources.
