The Center said the precipitation has been enhanced by a technique known as cloud seeding, and its purpose is to increase condensation in the hope that it might trigger a downpour.
The US used cloud seeding during the 60s (iirc) an an effort to burn up storm energy. They steered a hurricane into Mexico and did a bunch of damage. We paid compensation.
This is old technology with a new face and technology twist (drone).

They've been doing it since the 1990s.
Phillipines contracted Russian firm to mitigate typhoons.
Earliest I've seen it talked about (was from an article), though I don't doubt it was happening before then.
