− | [[File: | + | [[File:weather_preview.png|300px|right]]'''Weather''' refers to any type of weather effect in ''Dwarf Fortress''. It includes snow, rain, and special features in evil surroundings. Additionally, one can observe clouds, fog/mist and the stars in adventure mode, however, they have no gameplay impact in fortress mode. |
Weather conditions and event text seem to depend on the embark location in the world, biome and [[climate]]. For example, some winters can see extremely low temperatures with large amounts of snowfall, whilst summers may be scorchers. | Weather conditions and event text seem to depend on the embark location in the world, biome and [[climate]].

− | + | Rainfall occurs occasionally. Normal rain cleans any tile it lands on, removing blood, [[vomit]] and other bodily fluids on contact. Any dwarf caught outside when it rains will receive a minor unhappy [[thought]]. | |
When rain hits a tile labeled as a [[murky pool]], it will begin to fill it up with 1/7 [[water]], and if that does not evaporate, the water will grow deeper, until the pool is full. Murky pools do not overflow from rain, but this extra water can be drained off and stored or used. (See the [[Well guide#Using ponds/pools in areas with heavy rain|Well Guide]].) While not much, it can really help maps without 'unlimited' water supplies such as [[river]]s and [[brook]]s. | When rain hits a tile labeled as a [[murky pool]], it will begin to fill it up with 1/7 [[water]], and if that does not evaporate, the water will grow deeper, until the pool is full.

− | + | [[File:snow_ground_anim.gif|thumb|185px|right|Snow gradually covering grass during a snowstorm.]]If the [[climate|temperature]] is cold enough, snowfall rather than rainfall will occur, and outside water will freeze, including murky pools and rivers. This can happen in winter months in a moderate [[biome]], or at any time in freezing biomes like a [[tundra]] or [[glacier]]. | |
Amid snowfall, the ground, trees and other surfaces will gradually become covered in snow. Dwarves caught outside during a snowstorm can have [[Thought#Weather|bad thoughts]] as well as freeze to death, so a very high priority when embarking on a glacier is to dig out some place warm for your idlers to rest. | Amid snowfall, the ground, trees and other surfaces will gradually become covered in snow.
