Since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Guizhou Province has significantly advanced its weather modification capabilities, ranking first nationally in 2024 for high-quality development in this field. The province has focused on key national priorities such as rural revitalization, food security, and ecological conservation, while addressing specialized needs like hail suppression for disaster prevention and protection of critical facilities, including the "China Sky Eye" (FAST).

Guizhou has established a comprehensive weather modification system integrating aerial and ground operations, enhancing coordination across regions. Over the past years, the province has conducted over 20,000 ground-based hail suppression and rain enhancement operations, alongside 200+ aerial missions. These efforts have safeguarded 130,000 square kilometers, increased annual precipitation by more than 2.5 billion tons, and substantially reduced hail damage to farmland.

The province has modernized its operations through automation and specialization. With 880+ ground-based systems upgraded during the 14th Five-Year Plan, Guizhou transitioned from traditional methods to automated processes. Standardization, IoT integration, and informatization now cover 100% of its stations, significantly improving precision, safety, and efficiency.

Collaboration with institutions like the China Meteorological Administration’s Weather Modification Center, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (Chinese Academy of Sciences), and Chengdu University of Information Technology has bolstered research. Notably, the "Weining Hail Suppression Field Science Base" — China’s first such facility — has driven breakthroughs in hail cloud mechanisms, suppression techniques, and impact assessment, earning multiple scientific awards.

Supported by 524 fixed and 413 mobile stations, plus three aircraft, Guizhou’s integrated "air-ground, static-dynamic" system exemplifies nationwide leadership in weather modification innovation and application.
