The climate object provides access to the park’s climate type and weather conditions.
Properties
The climate of the park. Can be:
"coolAndWet" - Cool and Wet climate"warm" - Warm climate"hotAndDry" - Hot and Dry climate"cold" - Cold climate
console.log(`Climate: ${climate.type}`);
The current weather in the park.console.log(`Weather: ${climate.current.weather}`);
console.log(`Temperature: ${climate.current.temperature}°C`);
The next weather the park will experience.console.log(`Next weather: ${climate.future.weather}`);
console.log(`Next temp: ${climate.future.temperature}°C`);
Weather Types
Weather can be one of the following types:
"sunny" - Clear sunny weather"partiallyCloudy" - Partially cloudy"cloudy" - Cloudy weather"rain" - Light rain"heavyRain" - Heavy rain"thunder" - Thunderstorm"snow" - Light snow"heavySnow" - Heavy snow"blizzard" - Blizzard conditions
WeatherState Object
The temperature in degrees Celsius.
const weather = climate.current;
console.log(`${weather.weather} at ${weather.temperature}°C`);
Usage Examples
Weather Monitor
function monitorWeather() {
const current = climate.current;
const future = climate.future;
console.log('=== Weather Report ===');
console.log(`Climate: ${climate.type}`);
console.log(`Current: ${current.weather} (${current.temperature}°C)`);
console.log(`Next: ${future.weather} (${future.temperature}°C)`);
}
// Monitor weather changes
let lastWeather = climate.current.weather;
context.subscribe('interval.tick', () => {

Weather-Based Actions
context.subscribe('interval.day', () => {

if (weather === 'rain' || weather === 'heavyRain' || weather === 'thunder') {
console.log('Rainy day - guests may want umbrellas!');
// Could adjust shop prices, spawn more umbrella vendors, etc.
}
if (weather === 'sunny' && climate.current.temperature > 25) {
console.log('Hot sunny day - guests may want drinks!');
// Could adjust drink prices, promote water rides, etc.
}
if (weather === 'snow' || weather === 'heavySnow' || weather === 'blizzard') {
console.log('Snowy day - winter wonderland!');
}
});

Weather and Game Mechanics
Weather affects guest behavior in OpenRCT2:
- Guests are less happy in rain and will seek shelter
- Guests may buy umbrellas in rainy weather
- Very hot weather increases thirst
- Cold weather reduces guest spawning
// Adjust park operations based on weather
function adjustForWeather() {
const weather = climate.current.weather;
if (isRaining()) {
console.log('Rainy weather: Guests seeking shelter');
// Could increase food stall prices, reduce outdoor ride prices
}
if (climate.current.temperature > 25) {
console.log('Hot weather: Guests want drinks and water rides');
// Could increase drink prices, promote water rides
}
}
