Raining in Thanalan

[ObeiKinstar]

What's the deal with so much rain in Thanalan?

It feels like it's raining half the time I'm there. Are they planning to add more vegetation in an update? that would be cool.

Otherwise please make it rain less, it just doesn't feel right.

That's not rain. It's a mirage.

It is raining 1/2 the time there because the heaven crying for the innocents that lost their lives due to corruption, crime, vice and more corruption.

Don't live the in Ul'dah once housing comes into play. Can't imagine the amount of break-ins, extortions and beggers.

It can rain in deserts, and does in fact, but the overall climate and geography is not good for vegetation to grow even if there is rain. The water tends to pool on the surface and/or drown things. It's not all that weird for it to rain in Thanalan, really. c:

I found fog in Sagolii to be vastly more... Odd...

It not fog... its the souls of the lost made physical.

It rains in the desert more often than you might think. Considering the game's accelerated passage of time I don't think it's too far off the mark.

I thought having very little rain was like the definition of a desert. I know it's possible for it to happen, but if it's happening daily then it's not a desert.

[Tebbo]

That is the definition.

They're being facetious. It rains sure but scarcely.
Thanalan is mostly scrubland anyway, but it is a bit odd, it should only rain rarely there, regardless of accelerated time.

OK, I know it can rain in arid climates, but the arid regions are arid because they receive little precipitation.

If it continues to rain as it is then I would expect more vegetation to grow, simple as that. And we're not talking a little rain fall once in a while... It is raining with full gale forces, even at camp DRYbone....
