Weather changes with seasons, and brings wet, cold, hot, and dry conditions. It can be turned off by editing init.txt. This takes some load off of the CPU and can result in faster game play.
Rain[edit]
Rain is an event occurring at random intervals. The message "It has started raining" appears when it begins to rain. Rain has multiple effects: It cleans blood off of surfaces, fills murky pools, and can give a dwarf an unhappy thought.
Rainfall occurs in temperate to scorching maps.
Snow[edit]
In winter, instead of raining it will snow. Snowing has very similar effects to rain, but instead of leaving "wet" squares, it will cover outdoor tiles with snow, including frozen river and pond tiles.
Snowstorms will occur in winter on temperate to freezing maps.
