Weather Types
Weather type specifies conditions under which it can occur (temperature, humidity, pressure,
windpower, time of day, etc.) and what effects it causes on the game world and reality bubble.
When selecting weather type, the game goes over the list defined in region settings and selects the
last entry that is considered eligible under current conditions. If none of the entries are
eligible, invalid weather type "none" will be used.
