Official Real Weather Report Topic

I wonder how much people's expectations from the weather system vary depending on where they live.

 

Your first date is September, the second one October. So it is very likely that the sim switched the foliage from summer to autumn. Each season has its own set of foliage and there must be a certain date where it changes from one to the next. You hit it.

 

Thanks guys. It was strange when I was looking for a date where the track temperature would average 30°C and the foliage would be greener. Even though it's likely the same as in my hometown, where you can experience all four seasons in a single day, I found the variation from day to day (~6°C ambient temperature) and the track temperature from 38°C to 14°C, under the same conditions, very strange.

 

Not to belabour this topic, but a 6C change in one day is typical even in places without four full seasons.

Last week where I live, the temp changed from 34C in the late afternoon to 14C in the late evening--a 20C drop in the space of a few hours. Most of the continental world that is not right beside a moderating ocean experiences large temperature swings on a regular basis. In many desert areas, 20C or 30C swings happen every day/night cycle.

As mentioned above, the game is a racing sim, not a weather sim, so it won't always be pin-point accurate, but instead hopefully introduces the possibility to experience the range of realistic weather for each track (location). That's about all we should expect.
