How often does it rain in Costa del Sol?

I've literally spent about 6-7 hours of real-life time just doing work and checking back on the weather every 10 minutes in Costa del Sol and I still haven't found an occasion where it's raining. How rare is it?

Ive noticed it alternates between the different weathers every in game day.

I can go hours w/o seeing the sun in most areas, due to this.

I think I've had 1 single screen shot of the zone, where you can see the sun, and the moment I clicked print screen, the sun went away to cloudy weather.

Other than that 1 time, I've yet to see the sun again in that zone, despite how pretty it can be.

Funny, whenever I go to Costa, it's always raining. And I always think to myself "and this is supposed to be a sunny beach?" x'D And it's pretty much always a thunderstorm in Black Shroud or fog in Thanalan. The rare occasions that the weather is clear, I spend the time with my camera angled towards the sky.

It's always raining when I'm there too! Its especially funny when you have NPC's in bikini's dancing in thunderstorms...

Same here - always raining in Costa. It's often dark too.

I had to wait a few ingame days for it to rain. If you don't already know, weather changes are every 8 hours eorzea time (0:00 midnight, 8:00 AM, 4:00 PM). The icon won't change until around #:03 but you'll see the sky alter.

Incidentally day and night are 12 hour periods from 6 to 6.

I like how it never rains in costa del sol but always rains in drybone.

Do you need it to rain for some reason? Is a theory or hunch?

Needs to be raining to catch Little Thalaos at Costa.

I often do little extra fun things to make the game more enjoyable for myself. I am trying to get a little "photoshoot" of my character at the beach, but it won't stop being flipping cloudy! Clear up and let the sun shine!
