Came into this thread thinking someone was suggesting pointy nipples and shrunken packages during rain/snow where temps are low... Oh forums how you have changed me.

Remember mining Alumen out there for 6 Eorzean days straight (so about 4hrs-ish, not sure on RL-ET time scale) anyway this was back in 2.1 & I saw rain/no sun for about 2 of those 6 so can agree it does "feal" off concidering I live in a badlands/prarie region in reality, if u'r determined enouf u just get a hat & maybe some shampoo can't let all that free water go to waste right?

What I had to lv Miner to suppy Armorer... to try & keep up with my friend uber-lv'n GLD/PLD, swear I got 1 day to lv my GLD outa that grind then it was off to Mythril for lv40 gear -_-! grrr (good thing I cared way less for crafting by 3.0, like so little I just now worried about them gear-wise even thou their all lv60)

The problem is not that it suddenly rains more thanks to the calamity but that it should have more plants if it rains that much. I know that there are plants but I somehow feel that in real life if it rains that often, that the landscape would have more plants.

Maybe the ground is just bad? Since its all sand plants might not be able to grow there - water isnt the only thing a plants requires. If its just sand over solid rocks, plants might not be able to get a good grip before they're washed away by the water again

The only weird weather was when it was raining in Ishgard (only for that one cutscene).

I occasionally walk out to find the weather bugged and it is completely cloudless and sunny.

Drybone had basically zero pre-calamity, I'd say the amount of green it has now is a significant increase over the 5-year time gap.

There are a number of quests that explain the weather and plant ecology in E. Than. near he goobue corpse. The short answer is it used to be bone dry for decades, hence the name, before the calamity which was only 5 years ago story wise, and they just didnt rename it. In those 5 years its progressively gotten more rainy. Not long enough to water rot all the cacti, but short enough the forest is only starting to clain the desert through loamfall enriching the sandy soil into something usable.

They've got to have the best drainage and pumping system in all of eorzea in the giant hole the town is located in. If this were based in reality that hole would be flooded.
