Hilariously, QSC will frequently spend half the day under Earth Weather even when hot spells are predicted.

I recently went there on a firesday with hot spells predicted. Half the day was a dust storm. I got 4 soil geodes and 3 flame geodes.

It immediately struck me as perverse the fact that I was happy about it.
