Climate regions mirror real California; each randomly picks weather fitting the region, such as clear Mojave days, Bay fog, mountain snow.
Weather currently only affects fishing; developers want it to affect other systems.
Rain and other weather systems vary by region and change lighting; South Coast had little weather.
Strongholds react to weather, such as being soaked in rain or snow-covered in the Sierras.
