Forecast
Forecast is a dynamic weather mod for Rain World that — as the name implies — adds weather forecasts to the game. Based on percentages you control, or by using other settings, the weather will change from cycle to cycle. Light and heavy rain, thunderstorms, dense fog, snow and blizzards.

Considerations
Forecast is intended to augment the existing weather for a region, mostly ones that have rain. For this reason, the mod will not add or change weather for regions that:
- Have snowy weather
- Have no weather
- Are interiors only
- Are above the clouds
DLC Limitations
The mod features two snow styles, Forecast and Downpour. The former uses unique snow particles and it’s own end-of-cycle blizzard. The latter uses the snow and blizzard introduced in the Downpour DLC. Please note that the hypothermia mechanics are locked behind owning one of the currently two released DLCs. If you are using the Downpour snow style, and do not own a DLC, the weather will transition back to rain at the end of the cycle.
FAQ:
– Is this compatible with modded regions?
Yes, provided it meets the requirements mentioned in the ‘Considerations’ section
– Can I use this mod as a dependency?
Yes, but I recommend waiting as there are region maker tools in the works that will let you define custom forecasts or room specific settings.
– Will you add Meadow compatibility?
I won’t rule it out, but its not a priority.
