There are a variety of Weather patterns that can occur on Friendship Island! In the beginning of the game, all the regions on Friendship Island will only have some variation of sunny weather. Later in the game, players can unlock other types of weather and new items!

The maximum time between weather events is 40 minutes of playtime. It can be less, but the timer is not shown to the player. The weather timer will also persist across play sessions. If you play for 5 minutes in one play session, close the game, and re-open the game for a separate 35 minute play session, a weather event will still occur within the 40 minute playtime window.
However, a weather event is ended if the player closes the game.
Unlocking Weather
The following table contains basic information on how to unlock each weather pattern.
The player will unlock the Aquafall Machine while completing the "Rain or Shine"quest. After completing the quest, the player will unlock weather on the island, where it can be either raining or sunny! The Aquafall Machine will occasionally activate, making bubbles as it causes rain to fall somewhere around Friendship Island. The player does not need to be near the machine for it to activate. The weather forecast in the player’s menu tablet will show when it is an upcoming weather event.
After completing the "Rainy Day Delight"quest, the player will be able to manually activate the Aquafall Machine once a week by crafting a Rain Island Stone and placing it into the Aquafall Machine. Activating a weather machine causes the weather event to happen in a random region. A currently active machine cannot be manually activated until the weather event ends. Manually activating a machine during another weather event will end the other weather event even if they occur in different regions.
