Weather Presets

Complete reference for all 42 built-in weather presets across four categories, plus support for custom presets.

[!NOTE] Chance values are proportional weights, not percentages. A preset with chance: 10 is twice as likely as one with chance: 5 when both are enabled in the same zone.

Severe (7 presets)

Dangerous or extreme weather events. Most have forced wind, meaning wind speed and direction are locked to the preset’s values and cannot be modified by zone configuration.

Custom Presets

GMs can create custom weather presets that appear alongside built-in ones under the “Custom” category. Custom presets are created via:

Weather Picker. Check “Save as Preset” before saving
Weather Editor. Click “Create New” in the sidebar
API. CALENDARIA.api.addWeatherPreset()

Custom presets support all the same fields as built-in presets including wind, precipitation, inertia weight, HUD effects, FXMaster integration, and sound effects.

[!NOTE] Zone preset templates default to null temperatures (inheriting from zone/season configuration). The enabled flag in a zone’s base preset config acts as a hard gate. Disabled presets are excluded from generation regardless of season-level probability overrides.
