Can it clear up artificially in thunderstorm weather?

Yes!

When there is a thunderstorm or strong convective cloud in the upstream, and the aircraft cannot manually "eliminate clouds and reduce rain", rockets (anti-aircraft guns) are fired from the ground to the air to reduce rain.

Aerial work is to spread catalyst in the clouds of the plane. Ground combat is to launch from the ground with anti-aircraft guns and rockets. The shell exploded in the cloud, burning the silver iodide in the shell into smoke and scattering it in the cloud. After the rocket reached the height in the cloud, the silver iodide began to ignite, and along with the rocket's flight, there was smoke all the way. Aircraft operation generally chooses stable weather to ensure safety. General anti-aircraft guns and rockets are widely used.

The role of silver iodide in artificial rainfall is called Leng Yun catalysis in meteorology. As long as silver iodide is heated, it will form extremely fine silver iodide particles in the air (only 1% to1000 of the hair diameter). 1g silver iodide can form hundreds of trillions of particles. These particles will move into the clouds with the airflow, producing trillions to billions of ice crystals in the Leng Yun. Therefore, the use of silver iodide to catalyze rainfall does not require an airplane, and the equipment is simple, the dosage is small, and the cost is low, so it can be popularized in a large area. In addition to artificial precipitation enhancement (rain and snow), silver iodide can also be used to artificially eliminate clouds, lightning, typhoon and hail.

Artificial rainfall should be carried out when clouds are rich in water vapor.
