Many definitions as per Nirukta indicate Indra's association with water, clouds and winds.  Through the study of the water cycle, one can understand the formation of rain and the inter-relativity of sun, clouds and water precipitation. From the following mantras of Rig Veda, it can be understood that the natural phenomenon of clouds, lighting and rains have been well studied and water cycle was well established during the vedic period.

From the following mantras of Rig Veda, it can be understood that the natural phenomenon of clouds, lighting and rains have been well studied and water cycle was well established during the vedic period. Astrologically also the correlation of nakshtra constellations with the formation of clouds and rains have been identified. 

A study of the scriptures by Sri. C V B Subrahmanyam as applied to modern science proposed a close correlation between Indra and Vrttrasura yudda (as mentioned in Rig veda mantras) and the story of origin of Maruts (as given in Ramayana and Vishnu Purana) revealing the secrets of how lightning (vajraayudha) can be used to pierce through the strong circling winds and clouds (Indra's strength) and bring about rains.   

By a study of the scriptures as an application to modern science, Sri. C V B Subrahmanyam proposed a relationship between Indra and Vrttrasura yudda (as mentioned in Rig veda mantras) along with the story Maruts (as given in Ramayana and Vishnu Purana) when applied to this natural phenomenon. The concept reveals the secret of how lightning (vajraayudha the lighting bolt) can be used to pierce through the strong circling winds (Vrttra) and clouds (Indra's strength) and bring about rains instead of cyclones.
