    There have been other fish in the past whose weather is approximately a 1 time per week occurence, so it's nothing really new. I remember that dang Bobgloblin Bass from HW. So far the windows for the Ruby Dragon have been about once per week, with us getting twice per week recently, so it just ends up with an extra week long gap this time. Just the way the dice rolled. Sucks for those still getting it, but it's still WAY easier than Stethacanthus, which I STILL haven't caught despite hitting every window for it since 4.56 dropped. EDIT: And of course I finally manage to catch Stethy the day after I post this. Ye RNGgods love the irony.

    That being said, I dn't think this particular gap is an oversight, since the weather patterns are not actually determined one by one by some weather maniac somewhere in advance. We do have weather predictors that somehow know the next 1000 weather changes, so they are not exactly random, but there must be some algorithm that determines it that is out of the developers control or knowledge, beyond just winding it up and letting it churn out mathematically determined weather changes. The Math gods just happened to roll a 23 day gap between Thunder>Cloud 0:00-8:00 weather patterns this time.
