The presently disclosed subject matter include a system and computer-implemented method of seeding a cloud using an autonomous vehicle. The method including: using an image sensor that is mounted on the autonomous vehicle for obtaining an image that includes at least a portion of the cloud; and using a computer for: determining a seeding location within the cloud to begin seeding of the cloud based on the image, wherein the determination is based at least in part on image processing identifying a characteristic of the cloud that is indicative of the cloud's suitability for seeding; and generating one or more flight instructions for directing the autonomous vehicle towards the determined seeding location.
