You should follow the tradition with a cat, not a teddybear, i should think the cat is a bit upset as he would have been the star of the show

it's the cats wailing and crying whilst being splashed with water which is thought to bring the rains on. i think the wet pussy might just have done the trick
As the rain throws it down for most, there is still a shortage for some as
Govt to perform cloud seeding in several provincesFarmers in 22 Chao Phraya River provinces have asked officials to perform cloud seeding operations, in order to replenish agricultural zones.
Deputy Prime Minister General Chatchai Sarikalya, says that the current average water supply of the nation is quite low. He explained that recent heavy downpours were concentrated in certain areas, leaving many provinces short of water. To address the issue, the Deputy Prime Minister has instructed the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation to perform Royal Rainmaking operations over these provinces, adding that the government will devise a water storage strategy for these drought-stricken zones.
General Chatchai, who is a former Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister, added that there is no plan to release water from dams servicing the 22 provinces along the Chao Phraya River basin until after the harvest season. He pointed out that this year, agriculturalists in these provinces are cooperating with the administration’s plan to use their farmland as water retention areas. The flooded zones can then be used to farm fish, which, according to the feedback, yields better income than off-season rice farming.
