There are meteorological fans in Tibet, and my great grandfather is one of them.

So you're Tibetan? Where are you from?

Weather magicians, also known as hail magicians, are still found in Shigatse, usually handed down from one family to another, and only male magicians have them. A magician is both a wizard and a doctor (witch doctors are always a family), but if the magician fails to do his duty, he will be severely punished for not driving away the hail during the harvest season. On the contrary, if the weather is fine that year, he will be attributed to the spell master, and he will get an extra reward at that time.
