Not nearly as useful as a swarm of small shades/mirrors that would allow a more fine grained control over the local weather.
But there are also other alternatives that could either achieve some level of control over the wether or help the mirror swarm, like aerostats, or ocean heat exchange energy generators [1]. If we build large enough number of them, we can increase convection between equator and pole regions of the ocean reducing hurricanes and increasing rain over Sahara.
