The other comments here talk about hoarding potential for rain in the future and depriving others of it but what about weaponising it? You could potentially annihilate your enemy by generating masses of rainfall and destroying their infrastructure could you not?

You could just build a large antenna array to control the weather: https://presscore.ca/news/haarp-mandated-to-create-floods-to-destroy-worlds-food-supply-and-kill-billions/ https://presscore.ca/news/haarp-mandated-to-create-floods-to... There are some crazy stories related to the HAARP program including opening holes in the ozone layer which caused instaneous skin burning to anyone caught under the hole.

Lightning strikes derived from this process are called "triggered lightning."[1][2][3]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rocket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rocket Of course, you can just drop some HE instead. Not sure how much damage lightning actually does.
