Weather

Sunny, cloudy, and rainy weather: how long each lasts and what rain does for your crops.

Weather in Craven’s Hollow can be sunny, cloudy, or rainy. It changes on its own, and everyone in town sees the same weather. Rain waters your crops for you, so it is the one kind of weather that changes how you farm.

How Weather Works

When the weather ends, the next one is picked at random. Sunny, cloudy, and rainy are equally likely, and the same weather can come around again right away.

Weather does not reach into the Mines or the Crypt. You will not see or hear rain down there.

Weather Forecast

Two decorations tell you what the weather will be next:

• An Old Television in your home. Watch it and the presenter gives the forecast. It costs 5,100 gold at Rowan’s furniture shop.
• A Stone Gnome in your garden. Walk up to it and choose Forecast. It costs 900 gold at Bella’s garden shop.

The forecast tells you the next weather and about when it starts and ends. Times are rounded up to the next half hour.

Rain

Rain does a lot of work for you.

• Crops count as watered. While it rains, each planted crop is watered once per harvest, as if you had used a Watering Can: its remaining growth time drops by 25%. You do not need to water anything during rain.
• Rare plants appear. Foraging turns up plants that are tied to wet weather:

Plant	Rarity	When it appears
Rainblossom	Legendary	Only in the rain
Zephyr Bloom	Mythical	In the rain, or at night
Starfall Petal	Divine	Only on rainy evenings and nights

• Residents stay inside. Kevin stays at his cabin all day, and Rowan stays in his workshop. Mr. Woofles calls out “Woof! (Nap weather!)” when the rain starts, and other residents bring up the rain when you talk to them.
• The music changes. A rainy-day song, “Licorice Drizzle”, plays in the morning and afternoon. See Music.

Sunny and Cloudy Days

Crops do not water themselves on sunny and cloudy days. Water them with a Watering Can, or place a Water Orb in your garden to do it for you.

Cloudy and rainy days are dimmer than sunny days, and cloud shadows drift across the ground.

Tips

• Check the sky before you water. If it is raining, your crops are already taken care of.
• Rain lasts 4m, which is shorter than sunny or cloudy weather.
• Launch a Firework while it rains to earn the Rain on My Parade achievement. Maya sells Fireworks.
• Look through a telescope to see the sky. The view changes with the time of day and the weather.
• If the drifting cloud shadows bother you, turn off Cloud Shadows in the World section of Settings.
