Weather is here!
Every 6 hours the weather can change, each ingame week has a set amount of total rainfall, spring is the rainy season and autumn is the dry season.
Light Rain will irrigate soil up to 24 water, some NPCs don't mind it and if it is hot enough it will not punish you with comfort loss.
Medium Rain will irrigate soil up to 32 water, most NPCs will stay home, and it will lower your comfort.
Heavy Rain will max out soil water to 40, almost all NPCs will stay home, and it will greatly lower your comfort.
Harsh Sun is unique to Summer, it drains soil water much faster than normal, NPCs will still go out, but it will lower your comfort.
Light Snow is a desirable weather to most NPCs and unless it is very very cold there is no comfort penalty.
Medium Snow is too cold for most NPCs, so they stay home, it will lower your comfort.
Heavy Snow is very cold and it tanks visibility, almost all NPCS will stay home.
Cloudy is just cosmetic, there is no chance to soil irrigation or NPC behavior.
