Weather

Tomorrow on TV

The farmhouse television's weather report is the forecast for the next day. Ginger Island, once unlocked, has its own report right after the valley's. Island weather is only sun or rain: 0% rain on the first visit, then 24%. The desert has had its own weather since 1.6, and it defaults to sunny.

Fish, villager lines, and heart events all read the weather. Heart events only distinguish sun and rain. Wind and snow still count as sunny for those events. A storm or green rain counts as rain. Seasons is where crops die on the 1st.

Storms and green rain

A storm is still rain, so rain fish can be caught, and the Old Mariner is on the beach. Lightning can destroy a crop or a tree. A fruit tree that is struck becomes a coal tree for a while. A lightning rod anywhere on the farm can intercept a strike if it is not already holding a battery. There is a chance of a strike every 10 minutes. Chests outdoors are not struck.

Green rain is the 1.6 summer event. It happens once each summer, on one of these dates: 5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, 18, or 23. The valley grows green weeds and green rain trees. Moss can cover ordinary trees. In year 1 most villagers stay inside. Demetrius, Leah, and Linus still go out. You cannot give gifts that day in year 1. TVs, the saloon jukebox, and the telephone do not work during the event.
