Google Netherlands to control the weather? Mind-boggling!

Netherland rains 145 days a year but now it will experience bright sunny days round the year starting April 1, thanks to Google Wind.

Google in the Netherlands has announced a new project called Google Wind where they can actually control the weather using Netherlands' ubiquitous windmills.

While weather predictions can help us prepare ourselves to brace a storm or massive blizzards, a new project has set its eyes to go one notch higher. Announcing its latest project ‘Google Wind’, the company claims to be able to change the direction of winds and control the weather in the Netherlands using Holland’s famous windmills. Can you believe it?

Known for its DJs and windmills, the country has a moist climate and there aren’t many sunny days to wake up to. The multinational technology company stepped in to help the Dutch witness bright sunny days! They shared a video on YouTube to show a sneak peek into their project. “Using them [windmills] not to capture wind, but to generate them,” the video caption reads. The bold project even vouches to control the rainfall!

Well, one shouldn’t get too excited about the wind project as the video was released on March 31. Every year Google brings out a crazy innovative idea that later turns out to be the greatest prank of the year.

Cool, right? We thought so, especially for a company's April Fools' joke. We've already seen so many bad ones in the last few days that it's a true delight to see one that doesn't blow.
