Weather

The Weather App on the Menu Tablet.

There are a variety of Weather patterns that can occur on  Friendship Island and other regions! 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!

Weather App

When the player opens the  Menu Tablet they will be able to check the weather! There are two times when weather can occur: "Now" and "Later".

Weather events have a chance of occurring every 20-40 minutes. This time can be cut in half with  Kiki and  Lala's Meteorology Ability.

The weather timer is not shown to the player. The weather timer will also persist across play sessions. If the player plays for 5 minutes in one play session, closes the game, and re-opens the game for a separate 35 minute play session, a weather event will still occur within the 40 minute playtime window. Only one weather event can occur at a time, and only one region is affected during each event.

A currently occurring weather event will be ended if the player closes the game.

More Information

Unlocking Weather

Weather is usually unlocked through quests. Areas outside of  Friendship Island may have their own requirements for unlocking weather.

The following table contains basic information on how to unlock each weather pattern.

Weather Type	Area	Currency	Related Quest	Related Machine
Sunny	All	None	Default	None
Rain	Friendship Island	Raindrop	"Rain or Shine"	Aquafall Machine
	City Town	Rainbow Beam	"Rainbow or Bust"
	Wheatflour Wonderland	None	"Potion Problems"
Starfall	Friendship Island	Stardrop	"Constellation Destination"	Celestree
	Wheatflour Wonderland	None	"Potion Problems"
Steam	Friendship Island	Steamdrop	"Saunarator"	Saunarator
Snowfall	Friendship Island	Snowdrop	"Peak Weather"	Arctifier
Flourfall	Wheatflour Wonderland	None	"Potion Problems"	None

Weather Finds by Region

A weather event can cause currency and/or a weather-specific critter or fish to appear in the region. The absence of currency where a weather event is occurring is a very good indication that a weather critter or fish is present, but some regions in some weather have both currency and a critter.

The currency will remain until collected or it is reset by the same weather event happening in the same region. A critter or fish is only available during the weather event itself.

Types of Weather

Rain

Rain

Information Like all weather events,  Rainfall lasts 15 minutes. It automatically waters any planted flowers in the region, as long as they are not currently blooming. If they are blooming, they will automatically be watered if plucked during the rain. What appears during  Rainfall depends on where it rains. Weather Finds Regions (DLC) (DLC) ( only) ( only) Manual Activation After completing the "Rainy Day Delight" quest, the player will be able to manually activate a  Rainfall event once every 7 days by crafting a  Rain Island Stone and placing it into the  Aquafaller. Activating a weather machine causes the weather event to happen in a random region and can include regions outside of  Friendship Island. A currently active machine cannot be manually activated until the weather event ends. Manually activating a machine during a different weather event will end the other weather event even if they occur in different regions. Rain in Friendship Island How to Unlock Weather on  Friendship Island does not change normally.  Rainfall is the first weather that can occur there, and it is only unlocked after repairing the  Aquafaller during the "Rain or Shine" quest. After that, the  Aquafaller will activate during  Rainfall, making bubbles whenever it rains in any region, including regions not part of  Friendship Island. The player does not need to be near the machine for it to activate. Rainfall Flowers  Rainfall Flowers will appear during rain only in  Seaside Resort,  Spooky Swamp, or  Merry Meadow. When watered using the  Watering Can, they will produce 1x  Raindrop. 15x flowers spawn per  Rainfall. They do not regenerate with the use of  Island Bouquets. Even if the player was somewhere else during the rainfall event, the  Rainfall Flowers will stay spawned until the  Raindrop is collected or replaced by another  Rainfall event in the same region!  Rainfall Flowers can also contain:  Peculiar Corals (Twilight Mix)  Crafting Plans for  Fast Flippers (one per save)  Fish Almanac #28 (in the  Spooky Swamp only; one per save) If a find is limited to one per save, it can be found again if the find is collected by a  Multiplayer visitor instead of by the host. Turning off flower animations in the "Settings: Gameplay" menu will skip the watering animation for  Rainfall Flowers. Raindrops  Raindrops are a type of currency obtained by  watering  Rainfall Flowers during or after rain. Each  Rainfall Flower contains 1x  Raindrop, if it does not give something else instead. Critter When  Rainfall occurs in  Gemstone Mountain, the player will be able to catch  Soaking Sluglers around the region.  Rainfall Flowers will not appear in  Gemstone Mountain. Fish When  Rainfall occurs in  Mount Hothead, the player will be able to catch  Shower Springtail, which can be found in the  Hot Springs and along the coast.  Rainfall Flowers will not appear in  Mount Hothead. Rain in City Town For  Rainfall in  City Town, the player must complete the "Rainbow or Bust" quest. This does not require the  Aquafaller to be repaired. However, the  Aquafaller can be used to start  Rainfall in  City Town, if the weather has been unlocked there. Rainbow Beams When a  Rainfall occurs in  City Town, a total of 3x  Rainbow Beams will spawn in random locations around the city.  Rainbow Beams will stay spawned until they are collected or until it rains in  City Town again. Additionally, the player can find 3x  Rainbow Beams after reset each day following the completion of the "Rainbow or Bust" quest. Rain in Wheatflour Wonderland  Rainfall occurs natively in  Wheatflour Wonderland, without any quests required to unlock it. It does not require the  Aquafaller to be repaired. However, the  Aquafaller can be used to start  Rainfall in  Wheatflour Wonderland. While  Rainfall does water the flower patches in Tier 1, the weather find of  Rainfall is a critter in Tier 3.  Rainfall Flowers will not appear in  Wheatflour Wonderland. Wondrous Stone After partially completing the  Critter Temple, the Grand Flowl  Spelt will gift the  Instructions for the  Wonderous Stone to the player. To use a  Wonderous Stone, the player must have a  Wonderous Stone in their  inventory and speak to  Spelt in the  Critter Temple.  Spelt will give the player the choice to activate any one of the following:  Flourfall,  Starfall, or  Rainfall in  Wheatflour Wonderland. Any manually activated weather event will last the normal amount of time (15 minutes). This choice can only be made once every 7 days. If the same weather event is currently occurring in  Wheatflour Wonderland, it cannot be manually activated until the weather event ends. Manually activating weather during another weather event will end the other weather event, even if they occur in different regions. Critter During  Rainfall, the player will be able to catch  Floverns in the 3rd tier of  Wheatflour Wonderland, to the right of the Flovern Launchpad just below  Sun Peak.

Starfall

Starfall

Information Like all weather events,  Starfall lasts 15 minutes. Because it is tied to the time of day,  Starfall will only begin if it is currently night, so it can be started by changing the time with a  bed in a  Visitor Cabin or with  Pekkle's Dance All Night Ability ability. However, this only applies once the normal wait period has ended. Additionally, if the time changes to morning before the 15 minutes are up, changing the time to night will allow the weather event to continue. What appears during  Starfall depends on where the stars fall. Weather Finds Regions (DLC) ( only) Manual Activation After completing both the "Rainy Day Delight" and "Constellation Destination" quests, the player will be able to manually activate a  Starfall event once every 7 days by crafting a  Star Island Stone and placing it into the  Celestree. Activating a weather machine causes the weather event to happen in a random region and can include regions outside of  Friendship Island. A currently active machine cannot be manually activated until the weather event ends. Manually activating a machine during a different weather event will end the other weather event even if they occur in different regions. Because  Starfall can only occur at night, the  Celestree can be activated only at night.

Even if the player was somewhere else during the starfall event,  Star Treasure will stay spawned until the  Stardrops are collected or replaced by another  Starfall event in the same region!  Star Treasures can also contain:  The Cloud Star (Full Mix)  Fish Almanac #14 (in  Cloud Island only; one per save) If a find is limited to one per save, it can be found again if the find is collected by a  Multiplayer visitor instead of by the host. Turning off celebration animations in the "Settings: Gameplay" menu will skip the animation for opening  Star Treasure. Stardrops  Stardrops are a type of currency obtained by opening  Star Treasures during or after starfall. Each  Star Treasure contains 3x  Stardrops, if it does not give something else instead. Critter When a  Starfall occurs in  Cloud Island, the player will also be able to catch  Stardrakes around the region.  Star Treasure will still appear in the region as well. Catching the  Stardrake is nearly impossible without  Keroppi's Critter Friend Ability and Critter Calmer Ability abilities. It is also usually easier to use the  Bubble Wand instead of the  Net. Fish When  Starfall occurs in  Rainbow Reef, the player will be able to catch  Starry Snipe, which can be found by  fishing in the  Kelp Maze or near the  Comedy Club.  Star Treasures will not appear in  Rainbow Reef.

Wondrous Stone After partially completing the  Critter Temple, the Grand Flowl  Spelt will gift the  Instructions for the  Wonderous Stone to the player. To use a  Wonderous Stone, the player must have a  Wonderous Stone in their  inventory and speak to  Spelt in the  Critter Temple.  Spelt will give the player the choice to activate any one of the following:  Flourfall,  Starfall, or  Rainfall in  Wheatflour Wonderland. Any manually activated weather event will last the normal amount of time (15 minutes). This choice can only be made once every 7 days. If the same weather event is currently occurring in  Wheatflour Wonderland, it cannot be manually activated until the weather event ends. Manually activating weather during another weather event will end the other weather event, even if they occur in different regions. Critter During  Starfall, the player will be able to catch  Floopy Balloopers in the 3rd tier of  Wheatflour Wonderland, all around  Sun Peak. Because  Floopy Balloopers are flying critters, they are generally easier to catch with the  Bubble Wand but can be caught with the  Net if close to the ground. Gallery Map location of the Celestree.
