Chocobo Lottery aka "Weather"

[Aphel]

It wasn't you not noticing, it is just as you described, foul weather birds don't get hit, almost at all in their opposite weather, while fair weather birds run with like a constant heavy on them in rain.

My foul-weather Chocobo runs slow when heatwaves or the sun is out. I have to expend much more stamina to keep up with the rest of the competition.

It becomes fairly obvious in the Sagolii races where the sun is up most of the time. Feels sluggish and I can hardly keep up with the others.
