Complete Weather Effects Guide

Rain

25-30%5-15 minutes

Most common weather effect that significantly boosts crop values through water-based mutations.

Key Stats

Profit Boost150-300%
Best CropsPotato, Carrot, Corn

Heat Wave

20-25%8-20 minutes

Summer weather that creates valuable cooking mutations, especially profitable with slower crops.

Key Stats

Profit Boost200-500%
Best CropsCorn, Pumpkin, Tomato

Cold Snap

15-20%6-18 minutes

Winter weather creating ice-based mutations. Less common but highly profitable with right crops.

Key Stats

Profit Boost180-400%
Best CropsWheat, Carrot, Apple

Lightning Storm

8-12%3-10 minutes

Rarest weather event with chance for legendary Shocked mutations. Extremely high risk/reward.

Key Stats

Profit Boost1000-5000%
Best CropsAll crops (random), High-value recommended
Seasonal Weather Patterns & Strategies

Spring

March - May

Rain +40% frequency

Strategy: Rain farming focus

Mass plant potatoes - spring rain is most frequent
Stock up on fast-growing crops for wet mutations
Rain prediction tools are most accurate in spring
Prepare for transition to summer heat patterns

Profit Potential

Expected Returns

150-200% above normal due to consistent rain

Weather Prediction Methods

Visual Indicators

80-85% Accurate

Watch for environmental changes that predict weather

Key Indicators:

Dark clouds gathering = Rain in 2-3 minutes
Temperature gauge rising = Heat wave building
Frost on plot edges = Cold snap approaching
Distant lightning flashes = Storm incoming

Warning Time:

1-5 minutes advance warning

Audio Cues

90-95% Accurate

Sound effects provide the most reliable weather warnings

Key Indicators:

Thunder rumbling = Lightning storm 30-60 seconds away
Wind picking up = Weather change imminent
Temperature humming = Heat building up
Silence after noise = Weather about to change

Warning Time:

30 seconds to 2 minutes advance warning

Pattern Recognition

70-75% Accurate

Track weather patterns to predict next occurrence

Key Indicators:

Rain every 20-45 minutes in spring
Heat waves every 30-60 minutes in summer
Cold snaps every 45-90 minutes in winter
Storms every 2-4 hours randomly

Warning Time:

10-30 minutes advance planning

Community Tools

95-98% Accurate

Discord bots and community trackers provide precise timing

Key Indicators:

Discord weather bots track server-specific patterns
Community spreadsheets log weather timing
Real-time weather alerts from other players
Server-specific weather prediction tools

Warning Time:

5-15 minutes precise forecasting
