Yesterday in Stormwind, I walked out of the Mage Tower to see this beauty:

I let my subscription lapse shortly after the 9.1.5 update, so I didn’t even know that Blizzard had added new weather effects to Stormwind. It honestly left me in awe for a bit – I thought it was so beautiful.
Which got me thinking. How cool would it be if zones like Stormwind had yearly weather patterns, just like places on Earth? What if in the winter, it got foggy quite often, and then in the spring, storms rolled in almost every day? It’s such a simple thing, but it would add so much realism to the game.
I’ve always appreciated how it seems to rain much more in Boralus and Tiragarde Sound than anywhere else. It’s a small touch that really drives home the rainy and humid climate of the land. It’s amazing how such a thing can make so much of a difference.
If something like that came to Stormwind? Heck yeah! Especially because we know from lore that the city got its name from the frequent storms that would roll in from the sea.
Blizzard, if you want to make storms and fog more common in Stormwind, then I’m all for it! And yearly weather patterns are like a long-term dream for me.
This has been your daily conversation about the weather. Now back to your regularly-scheduled programming.
