Weather and hurricanes

Tropical weather with local showers, puddles that stay put, and hurricanes.

The weather is built again from the system in Red Dead Redemption 2, with the aim that showers stay local and the world feels larger. Leonida can get seasonal hurricanes and tropical storms.

After heavy rain, puddles remain, water runs off roofs and streetlights, and a rainbow can appear. In a storm, visibility and wind both drop.
