* There have been at least five weather machine usages on ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. The first is seen in the background of an R&D, but its function is mentioned to show [[RuleOfCool how advanced the facility is]]. The second example is used to attack [[CanadaEh Canada]]. In the third instance, the previous machine is reused to bring [[{{Snowlems}} an army of evil snowmen]] to life and cause a brief raining of frogs. (Wait... what?) The fourth is created by "Evil Ron" and dubbed "The Mega Weather Generator". The fifth is used to make it always winter ([[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia but never Christmas]]). The appropriate {{Continuity Nod}}s occur. One of these weather machines is even procured from a ''used weather machine dealership''. Rather than pay, Drakken opts to simply mug the salesman for the keys and steal it, which he somehow doesn't expect despite supervillains likely making up the majority if not entirety of his customer base.

General clarification on work content


** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'''s Old World Blues DLC has an experimental weather control machine in one of the labs, which you can use to make it rain over a small model village, but which more importantly is implied to be the cause of the storms over the Divide.
** ''VideoGame/Fallout4'''s Contraptions Workshop features fireworks that can change the weather. While an incredibly powerful technology that could change the world and save many lives, it is used purely for aesthetics.

** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'''s Old ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'': The ''Old World Blues Blues'' DLC has an experimental weather control machine in one of the labs, which you can use to make it rain over a small model village, but which more importantly is of Higgs Village. Lore-wise, however, it's implied to be that Big MT's weather experiments are responsible for the cause of the unnaturally strong storms over of the Divide.
** ''VideoGame/Fallout4'''s Contraptions Workshop features fireworks ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': The ''Contraptions Workshop'' DLC includes a host of fireworks, in particular three types that can change alter the weather. While an incredibly powerful current status of the weather, generating rain, a [[WeirdWeather radstorm]], and clearing the skies of either of the two. Strangely, despite being a highly practical technology that could change has the world and potential to save many lives, countless lives by manually creating squalls of non-radioactive rain for crop farming and dispelling irradiated systems blowing in from the Glowing Sea, it has no relevance to the game lore and is used purely for aesthetics.

* In Creator/JohnScalzi's ''Literature/StarterVillain'' one of Jake Baldwin's shell corporations was contracted by the US government to build a laser that can induce rainfall. He delivered, but kept a scaled-up version in his VolcanoLair with sufficient range to shoot down satellites.
