I saw that, but obviously the timing is wrong, though not so wrong as to put conspiracy theorists off. The BBC link (in the Conspiracy Thread) however contains the statement (my bold)
BBC Weather meteorologist Matt Taylor also noted the severe weather event had already been forecast. "Ahead of the event, computer models (that don't factor in potential cloud seeding effects) were already predicting well over a year's worth of rain to fall in around 24 hours," he said.

That won't deter conspiracy theory either!

EDIT I suppose you could maintain that the prior seeding worsened the bad situation already predicted. I always understood that the silver iodide or whatever was being used for seeding had a temporary and local effect, being washed out by the rain generated - but does anyone know know for certain how long it remains aloft?

What puzzled me was that if the forecast was showing torrential rain then why bother seeding at all?

Tens of thousands evacuated from massive China floods

A flood-prone province in S China, but apparently worse than usual. Reuters refer to the floods as 'unseasonal' while BBC radio was commenting on abnormally stormy weather with hail large enough to crack windscreens.

Interesting read and another interesting weather event after Dubai storms last week.   That true it look like Mars atmosphere but not sure how high the temperatures reached in Mars during the dust storm that often come with high temps.  HIghest there this year Sol was 9C max and 19C ground level, last year I think was 24C and 16C respectively before diving to minus figures soon after.

A rare sighting of five funnel clouds forming over County Wicklow in the Republic of Ireland has been captured on camera.
They were spotted by wildlife photographer David De Courcy over Wicklow Harbour on Friday morning.

Extreme heat in Manila with 38C braking a record which has stood for over 100 years., and persisting for several days. Add in humidity and effectively it's 46C

Of course, global warming is driven by energy consumption, so the first thing to do in a heat wave is to use more power in the form of air conditioning!

Surprised that was their record, but I suppose tropical climates dont get that high but humidity makes it feel hotter than it is

The highest temperature ever recorded in the Philippines was 42.2°C (108.0°F) in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan on May 11, 1969.

Surprised it did not break that record this year.  I also know Manila did reached 40C sometimes at some past years before. 

I still follow temps in that part of the world.
I'm sure when I was there in 1998 in an El Nino there were similar temps. Manila in particular was hot.
What I've noticed this year is that people over there refer to heat index figures more than they used to.
The south west monsoon (Habagat) will begin soon and with it cooler, relatively speaking, temps.
The high humidity is the hard part to live in.

I noticed that and can be misleading and confused them as many are not into weather.  We don’t use this index here at all but sprouting up there as they upgraded their weather station equipments.
