In Asia, the Indigenous people say they are "replanting the rain" when they are planting trees because they know--as we have forgotten--that forests are weather, that life is weather.
"40% of weather is caused by local variable."
"Plants, weather and climate are critically linked."
The study of rain has been dominated by physicists. But rain has a huge amount of biology to it.
