The Electronic Wireless Show Podcast episode 136: the best weather in games specialWear sunscreen
Wear sunscreen
We open, as you can predict, with a discussion on Matthew’s opinions on barbecues. After this, and a lengthly chat about police procedurals, we do talk about some of our favourite game weather (not including mud, which is not weather). There is also a lengthly argument about whether “the moon” counts as weather, which it clearly does not.

LinksOnce again I bring upThe Witcher 3because it hasreal good wind. Nate, similarly, saysNutshas really good foley work, particularly this one bit with a storm and loads of wind.
Matthew, after insisting that nobody is ever like “Oh shit! Mist!” then brings upPersona 4 Goldenspecifically because of the mist in it, and the effect that weather has on your social activities and your actions in the game.
He also describes the age rain inDeath Stranding, and me and Nate are likeoh, brrrrrotherabout it.
Other mentions are the rain on the roof inMinecraft, the fine-tuned weather control inMicrosft Flight Simulator, the very cold cold inFrostpunk, the tornadoes inNo One Lives Forever 2, and a fun lil' puzzle game about being a chaotic raincloud calledRain On Your Parade.
I was incorrect:the TV show Beauty and the Beast, starring Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton (!) ran for three seasons and was a ‘romance/crime drama’ rather than a police procedural.
