Info
The weather is a visual feature in Bus Simulator that has zero impact to the game-play, but adds both visuals and sounds depending on what weather is currently active as you wait for the next event.

It has a more than a couple of options related to it such as:
  • Performance Settings - Weather - Allows you to switch the density of the effects, from Off, Decreased, and Full.
  • Performance Settings - Rain Reflections - Allows the road and the sidewalk to have reflections if it's Rainy / Stormy. Works properly on Graphic Levels 8+.
  • Audio Settings - Weather - Adjusts the volume of rain and thunder, with varying degrees.

You can also change the weather namely in a private server by using the !weather [weather type] and also completely disable it via !rngweather.
Weather Types
Sunny
Often the most default weather type while playing the game, has clear skies and no occasional visual obstruction.
Cloudy
Causes the skies to be more opaque but doesn't obstruct much of it.
Rainy
Causes the skies to slightly be more opaque as rain falls from the skies.
Stormy
Similar to Rainy, this weather type intensifies it with darker clouds, more coverage, and occasionally thunder strikes far away.
Special Effects
In certain biomes, some weather can be changed to fit accordingly and so often have their own special effects:
  • For Snowy, during Rainy, it is replaced by snow particles around the player. This is then intensified during Stormy.
  • For Frozen, hail will begin to occur during Rainy, with it intensifying during Stormy.
On the contrary:
  • For Desert, no effects happen during Rainy, however a sandstorm begins if the weather is Stormy, with dust particles flying to the North.
  • For Lava, rain is practically non-existent for both Rainy and Stormy.
