What is this addon?

Dynamic Weather is an addon that adds a much more advanced weather system to WoW!  It is purely an interface-based addon and is fully compliant with the terms of service.  If you were looking for something to add a bit of realism and immersion to your game, then look no further!  

Features:

  • Weather patterns for all zones that shift every hour, based on what their climates would be realistically.
  • Immersive creen and sound effects!  
  • Real-world types of weather and more Warcraft-centric ones!  Sandstorms, snowstorms, heat waves, hurricanes, tropical storms, thunderstorms, felstorms on Argus and other legion worlds, and more!
  • "Synced" weather where everyone in the game will see the same effects, done via a seed-based random generator!  No data is transferred, instead everybody gets the same results when determining what the current forecast is!
  • The ability to alter weather locally or among friends on a continental scale to suit your mood!

This is, in the end, a proof of concept, and if you wish to try and create a better version of this addon then absolutely feel free!  I hope this adds to your WoW experience.
