It was brief, but it happened. weather crossed over to next game day and left... forecast for that next day was sunny with chance of dust storms. So it isn't in season, so it may have been a fluke. But when the season is up, I see them line up like that a lot.

I'm having trouble parsing what you're saying. Earth weather is common in altepa, and wind weather is common in teriggan. For any crossover theory to hold water you'd have to show wind weather in altepa or earth weather in teriggan. I've read the quoted text 5 times now and don't see any indication that that is what's happening, so i'll ask you to clafiy this a bit more.

I don't have to run and find a reporter for volbow, and I don't have to waste my gil running out there to check for wind. I can check with the NPC right outside my moghouse for altep. If I see a lot of earth popping in altep, then it is likely a good time to camp in kuftal and terrigan because they are on the same pattern. Many times I've been tooling around on shopping runs and caught weather in a zone and it prompted me to check on an area either for myself or friend because those areas share the same pattern. Saves a lot of effort once you see the links.

What if it wasn't a person...? What if it was an NPC Groundskeeper, or something? He could've been built to function as a weatherman for Tu'lia. :)
