Weather is the state of atmospheric change in wind, temperature, cloudiness, moisture and pressure. Weather lasts the entire day and may persist to the next day. It extends across the entire map, regardless of where the player is. Sunny days will be sunny everywhere and snow will fall on the Eufaula Desert as with everywhere else.

Weather interaction

Ack can forecast the weather for the next day after the player has hired him as a helper and upgraded him with the Meteorological Data Chip. Once these prerequisites are filled, the player can interact with Ack to bring up the weather forecast option.

When Ack predicts the weather, Ack's dialogue lines are as follows:

  • Sunny Sunny: I'm in a good mood today. Tomorrow will bring clear skies, as clear as my mood!
  • Cloudy Cloudy: Tomorrow is going to be cloudy. We won't be seeing the sun.
  • Overcast Overcast:
  • Rain Raining: It'll rain, rain, rain tomorrow. My arms will hurt and my cooking will be affected. How dreadful!
  • Snow Snowing:
