1. A method of controlling an air blowing apparatus, the method comprising:
determining whether there is precipitation through a rain sensor by a controller;
determining whether the air blowing apparatus is in an automatic mode in a precipitation condition by the controller;
determining a vehicle speed when the air blowing apparatus is in the automatic mode in the precipitation condition; and
setting power and a spray angle of the air blowing apparatus by comparing a measured rainfall received from the rain sensor to a stored rainfall by the controller,
wherein setting the power and the spray angle of the air blowing apparatus includes compensating the spray angle and a spray amount of the air blowing apparatus by measuring a flow speed and a flow angle of rainwater through the rain sensor by the controller.
