If it actually worked in a big way then I might not dismiss it out of hand. The lasting damage from nuclear testing stems mostly from when bombs were detonated on land, contaminating that land. Detonating over water would avoid the point concentration problems.
That being said, it doesn't work and by now everybody who is competent to judge the science knows so already. Would somebody who was incompetent, for the sake of argument lets call them "Individual 1", still propose doing so? Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Storms are driven by energy input. Dropping a bomb in the middle of a storm would probably make it worse in proportion to how much energy was released.
