UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain will address misconceptions about weather control in a live Q&A session scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, at 3 p.m. PT. The event aims to clarify misunderstandings surrounding the idea of human control over weather patterns, particularly in light of recent hurricanes in the southeast that have fueled such claims.

Swain's discussion will cover several topics, including the distinction between direct weather control and indirect weather modification methods like cloud seeding. He will also explore the long-term impact of climate change on weather patterns, emphasizing its reality compared to fictionalized notions of direct control.

The session promises updates on California's weather and wildfire outlooks as well as a pause in record Western heat. Participants are encouraged to join live to ask questions or view the recording later.

"Separate fact from fiction regarding 'weather control' (spoiler: humans can’t control the weather) with UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain," reads part of the announcement for this informative event.

The YouTube Office Hours with Daniel Swain will take place at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 15.
