Weather

Weather plays a major part in the Animal Crossing (Series) series, changing daily and reflecting the seasons. Notable weather includes winter snows, the summer rainy season, and the near-constant cloud of the Autumn.

Weather consists of two main features- precipitation and cloud coverage.

Cloud Coverage
There are many different levels of cloud coverage. These levels can potentially change every hour, and range from clear to complete. Clouds always travel from the north of the town towards the sea, contradicting the fluttering of the town flag and the floating pattern of balloons. Clouds appear white in the day, unless rain bearing, upon which they are grey. Clouds at night are a dark shade of grey.


 * Clear No clouds in the sky. The sky appears bright blue, or at night, full of stars.


 * Wisp Similar to clear, but with faint, infrequent specks of white cloud trailing across the sky.


 * Light Noticable clouds in the sky, dispersed but still frequent. Clouds white.


 * Moderate Substantial cloud cover, lower level of brightness.


 * Dense Packed cloud with slight gaps in coverage. Low level of brightness and lowered visibility. If rain bearing, clouds are steel grey.
