The present invention relates to a system and method for facilitating artificial rain by heating the ground surface on a day having real latent instability to induce rising air currents that overcome the convective inhibition (CIN) of the air layers and thus activate the convective available potential energy (CAPE) existing in nature. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for facilitating artificial rain by ground heating in which the air at the ground surface of a region where artificial rain is to be produced is heated, when the atmosphere of the region has real latent instability, so that the air parcels may overcome the CIN and rise upwards, activate the CAPE by itself, and consequently induce rain.
