The Weather

On a planet covered mostly water, I'd like to think that the weather would be quite extreme. Water vapor would be constantly fueling whichever storm cell popped up and the wind would be howling with no land to slow it (not that i want wind all the time). Anyone else waiting for a storm to come along?

    Although I just love the current warm & sunny weather of the game, an occasional stormy/cloudy/rainy day would make me enjoy the sunshine way more.

    YES! I totally agree, stormy weather! Kind of like in Star Wars II, the water planet Kamino. Every now and then wild weather sets a new mood to the gameplay. Maybe the water could go foggy in shallow area's?

    I wouldn't mind weather, but I honestly only really want it if it will have some sort of effect on the player. For instance swimming on the surface during a thunderstorm has a risk of you getting struck.

    Yah I agree with Terra. And weather would be a great feature that they could work on after the upcoming update

    I agree with TerraBlade. The weather needs to have a noticable impact on the player. It would be a travesty if it ended up like minecraft rain and just annoyed everyone!

    Hurricanes, tropical storms, waterspouts, downbursts, tsunamis, and powerful upwelling – all need to be implemented.

    It's been stated many times, but probably not for a while, so newer members may not have seen... storms and weather are planned, not implemented yet. I even remember reading a post months ago saying the effects had already been worked on to some extent, but they're working on other content first.

    It would be really cool if the weather conditions also effect the ocean surface. For example, storms would cause the ocean to have larger more violent waves.

    Yup, rogue waves when you least expect em could be interesting. Would also make the shallow reefs a dangerous place during storms. Wouldn't want to be slammed into coral repeatedly.

    could also add in whirlpools that shoot down, sucking you in, storm could make the currents they will be implementing 50% bigger / faster, monsters are more aggressive, im not too fond of tsunamis because i don't want the escape pod chilling over the reapers after one stormy night.
