Adding Weatherconditions to the calendar

weather calendar symbol conditions

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  I'd love to have the ability to add specific weatherconditions to a day in the calender. For now there's no possibility to display it to be seen directly.   Perfect would be a symbol which is displayed like the moonphases.  Depending on the world you could insert a hover-tooltip, what the specifics are - for rainy weather you could specify what kind of rain (Water? Ash? Blood? Acid? Something completely different?) for example or what temperature it is (this would be a roleplay-specific feature I'd say, since weather may change in different areas of course).    Possible weatherconditions: 
  • Storm/Thunder
  • Rainy
  • Heavy Rain
  • Cloudy
  • Cloudy, but sunny
  • Meteors
  • Mist
  • Smog
  • Snow
  • Hail
  • Windy
  • Mixed weather/Miscellaneous
It would be lovely to add a short description to the condition to clarify for example, if it's blood raining or just water.    Possible additional information:
  • Specific name for the condition? 
  • Temperature
  • How light or heavy is the weathercondition? 
  • Windspeed
  • Effects (like magical effects or physical)
  • Linked article for more/specific informations
 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  If you want to add weather, you could just make a new entry inside the calendar, but it would be only visible as a title or you have to specifically click it.   

What are other uses for this feature request?

You could define rainseasons or duration of storms for example. As a Dungeon Master you could prepare the fitting weather for the group without thinking "Was it warm or was it rainy yesterday?" You just can have a look! :) Makes documentation a lot easier and it reminds me as a Dungeon Master to talk about the weather itself more, to create a better immersion for my players.
