What are some instances of weather in games that really stood out to you as being really well done?

Don't forget to share gifs/videos/pics if you can!

Always loved the way the snow intensified the further you got into the level in Snow Barrel Blast (Donkey Kong Country)

The rain effects in A Link to the Past and Super Metroid were pretty awesome, especially the sound of thunder in the case of Super Metroid.

The wind sound effect in FF6 (and re-used in Chrono Trigger in a few places) was quite iconic. I just wish all the subsequent remakes didn't replace it with a rather wimpy "hissing" noise.


The radiation storms in Fallout 4 that popped up at random (and were in constant effect over the Glowing Sea). I had a radiation storm come up and it was accompanied by a random encouter with a Deathclaw.



^ DC needs a modern port or remaster almost as much as Bloodborne imo. It still does some things better than any other racer I've seen.

Sea of thieves water effects.

Goated. 

Still the best looking sea in gaming. 



Rain on Samus visor Metroid prime and the rain splashing on her arm cannon.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Who can forget the best weather effect of all time?

For real though RDR2 does have some amazing weather. Looking forward to what they do with GTA6. Those Florida Leonida hurricanes could be quite something. 



Nothing will ever top this: *there’s supposed to be a screenshot of the four seasons of Pokémon Black/White but VGChartz isn’t letting me add the photo…so I’m linking a YT video.*

Haha, yeah the game does have beautiful weather effects. The changes can be improved


Also one of the best flowing water effects
