Realistic Weather System 3.0 is a detailed weather overhaul that brings more authentic rain, thunderstorm, and wind behavior into the game. It uses real climate data from ERA5 to simulate how different regions experience precipitation during summer months.
The mod introduces ten distinct rain and thunderstorm intensity levels, improved raindrop physics, and enhanced textures for both windshield rain and road splash effects. Skybox lighting and rain probabilities have been fine-tuned for more immersive weather transitions.
This update refines the geographic accuracy of climate zones and updates data ranges to reflect ongoing climate trends from 2000 to 2026. It is intended for players who want a more realistic and immersive driving atmosphere, especially during stormy or rainy conditions.
Note: this mod is not compatible with other graphics, weather, rain, or seasonal overhaul mods.
