Guide: Weather

Every day, there is a random weather condition. Clear weather (that is, the absence of weather) appears approximately a third of the time; rain and sunshine are each fairly common; and wind, snow, storms, and fog are rarer. Weather affects summoning, gardening, pet affinity, and the pool of random events that is eligible to happen each day.

Each weather condition corresponds to an aspect as follows:

• Sunny weather corresponds to the Sun aspect
• Rainy weather corresponds to the Water aspect
• Windy weather corresponds to the Air aspect
• Snowy weather corresponds to the Frost aspect
• Stormy weather corresponds to the Lightning aspect
• Foggy weather corresponds to the Void aspect

Every day that there is a weather condition, all pets will gain a trace amount of affinity to the corresponding aspect unless they are equipped with an umbrella charm. Performing a summoning on a day with a weather condition will result in a proportionally stronger effect from essence items that match the day's weather, and there will also be a small chance of obtaining some items aligned to the aspect corresponding to the weather even if no essence items for that aspect are used.

Weather affects gardening as follows: sunny weather increases growth speed, while snowy, stormy, or foggy weather slow it. Rainy or stormy weather increase irrigation, leading to a higher crop yield when the plants are later harvested. Windy weather has no affect on gardening. Condensers placed in a garden have a chance to produce corresponding elemental essences during rainy, windy, stormy, or snowy weather.
