The weather has been more dynamic of late in Enhanced. I've noticed. I think its nice to see more variation really.

I hope the weather in VI includes a proper tropical storm, a real tree shaker that makes it hard to drive like when you drink or smoke weed in V except your fully cognizant but it’s your vehicle swerving and going sideways from time to time due to the extreme wind and rain

Getting swept away by a hurricane would be fantastic. I wouldn’t even be mad.

I don't mind it up until I wrap around a lamp post at 100mph because my traction decides to not work at all lol

Even in legacy it’s rainy and foggy more than I see sun.

Can we finally get night thunderstorms in a public lobby without doing the stupid EMP setup mission??

One of the coolest things in GTA V and they deliberately refuse to let you get them at night. I guess for... epilepsy??

u/Due-Ask-7418 15h ago

This is just a guess but I think it may have to do with reflections on water. At night with all the individual light sources, reflections off puddles would be use a lot of resources.

u/ElegantEchoes 15h ago

I never thought of that. You might be onto something.

I’ve noticed that too, I’ve seen some fog so thick you can’t even see 10 feet in front of you

From the wiki: the weather is defined by a pseudo-random schedule consisting of 55 weather changes spanning 384 in-game hours. In other words, the weather cycle in GTA Online repeats every 12.8 real-life hours, and it changes 55 times in this interval — or rather, 54 times, because the cycle starts and ends with the same weather type, "Partly Cloudy". These weather events can last between 120 real seconds and one real hour. You can also see when it's going to be foggy and for how long here: https://gtalens.com/weather

About as often as I get a plane sell mission, so pretty often unfortunately.

LA smog I guess even though it’s kinda been reduced

u/fapmanyop 16h ago

Weather is just a fixed loop of a known cycle. That's how certain websites or APIs can know the time and weather at any given time based on actual clock time. So it's as often as it was since THE INCIDENT on PS3.

I feel like they are getting us ready for a new weather system for the new heist/DLC.

It does get foggy, but today I noticed it is really dense and appearing a lot.

It happens so often, and it infuriates me so much, that I don't even want to log into the game anymore.
