The transitions between events are smoother and slower. Wind is no longer an independent weather event and can happen with any weather, which also means windy forecasts will no longer appear on the calendar. There are no weather forecasts called freezing or heatwave, but you will still be able to see freezing and heatwave weather events in regular cold dry and hot sunny days. See the forecast list below to see what to expect in each weather type.
Thundersnow can now happen in freezing weather. Secret lots can now have weather, however it will almost always be mild. Heavier rain/snow is now required to reach the heavy rain/snow in current conditions. Showers start almost instantly and go on for a few hours, however steady rain begins and ends slowly, reaching a peak around the middle of the event. There are now two main types of rain based on duration, rain showers and steady rain. The Weather Realism Overhaul changes the way the game handles weather events and forecasts to make weather more realistic.
