The Chief Minister previously said the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) had recommended cloud seeding operations over areas affected by the hot and dry weather from March 28-30.
He said the operations will be based on the forecast suitable cloud atmosphere with rain potential if cloud seeding is done.
The cost, he said, would be entirely borne by the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), while MetMalaysia has agreed to provide personnel and technical assistance.
Labuan-based Royal Malaysian Air Force would also provide logistics support along with the Chief Minister's Department's Internal Affairs and Research Office.
