&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Weather''' changes with [[season]]s, 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 noticeably faster game play.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rain==&lt;br /&gt;
Rain is an event occurring at random intervals. The message &amp;quot;It has started raining&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainfall occurs in [[temperate]] to scorching maps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Snow==&lt;br /&gt;
In [[winter]], instead of raining it will snow. Snowing has very similar effects to rain, but instead of leaving &amp;quot;wet&amp;quot; squares, it&lt;br /&gt;
will cover outdoor tiles with snow, including frozen pond tiles. &amp;quot;A snowstorm has arrived&amp;quot;, is the message you receive when getting a snowstorm. In the event of a snowstorm, snow will slowly cover the surface the map with snow, and any [[dwarf]] caught in one may get an unhappy thought from it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Snowstorms will occur in winter on temperate to freezing maps. &lt;br /&gt;
