Exotic weather

[Reinhart]

Wait a second, I just had a thought. The hours on an Eorzean clock are organized into the six elements, and further divided into Astral and Umbral. So there's two hours each day for Umbral Wind and two for Umbral Static, one in the AM and one in the PM. Has anyone checked to see if the times for those weather effects coincide on the same time each Eorzean day? That is, when they show up, which may not be every single Eorzean day.

That's likely not the case. Weather changes 3 times at day and lasts for 8 hours each time, at midnight, 8am, and 4pm. And while it follows an algorithm and each zone within a region kinda lines up with each other's weather, other regions don't line up with each other for the most part.

Ah, oh well. It was an interesting thought at least. It would have been very interesting if it did line up. It's close though. According to the chart on this page the Umbral Wind could still line up, and the Umbral Lightning time is an hour later, which in my opinion could be a decent approximation enough to work.
