All that rain in Drybone has me suspicious

[dubstephalflife]

Drybone ain't so dry anymore. I do a lot of RP in various places in Thanalan and I've noticed something. That rain out in Eastern Thanalan is really strange.

I've played since 2.0 and it rarely rained in E.Thanalan. Spent hours out there doing sidequest after sidequest. No rain. All the way through the early 2.2 this was true. Now, I stand out there for a few minutes, torrential downpour. Sideways freaking hurricane-like rain. It used to be dust storms and sun. Now there's like a few minutes of sun then it rains again.

Even stranger. No other zone has this kind of rain. It's usually the calm normal rain. The other areas of Thanalan aren't affected by this rain. It's pouring in Eastern, go to Central, and it's dry. I've stood in central for hours and didn't see a drop of rain.

SUSPICIOUS. I refuse to believe this is some sort of addition for fishing conditions or something. This isn't normal rain.

My current theory is that this is an omen. Look back at the last stages of 1.x. It rained for days when Dalamud started affecting the atmosphere. While it's unlikely the second moon is going to plummet to the ground, there is one thing that it could be.

Eastern Thanalan is closest to South Shroud where the sylphs live and what's coming? Ramuh. Ramuh's associated with lightning, which could be associated with storms. I haven't stayed in South Shroud long enough to tell if that's the case there too, but what if it's a sign, an omen that Ramuh is coming and the weather-aether is going nuts? What do you guys think?
