| Abstract: | Abstract The use of short‐term predictions of rain flux from isolated showers is discussed in the context of the design and evaluation of cloud‐seeding experiments. It is found that for a sample of 85 seeded convective clouds a seeding effect of 25% could be detected at the 10% significance level. |
