Abstract We consider the influence of the physical processes arising as results of atomic explosions on the meteorological factors of the earth's atmosphere. Calculations based on an analysis of the existing data show that the thermodynamical effect of an explosion is insignificant and can have no important effect on meteorological processes. Some changes of weather can be caused indirectly by the considerable disturbance of the electrical properties of the atmosphere and the consequent intensification of processes of condensation. In order of magnitude these changes may be comparable with the changes of weather caused by the periodic variations of solar activity.
