Comment by Ant343it took em 16 yearsComment by GwynnethThis is amazing, I love this! Wouldn't it be awesome if they added snowfall to the cities, at some point, too :)

I'm going to use Inky Black Potion during the rain storms. Maybe I'll see some lightning, too, in the darkness.

Now, if they added Stitches back in Duskwood, that would make me deliriously over-the-moon happy! That's nothing to do with the weather additions, but while they're adding our wish list items to the game lately.... please add Stitches to game again, too :PComment by ED209It would be nice to have sandstorms in Orgrimmar :DComment by Kavenoff777You realises it also rains in MOP, BFA and I think Legion? It's a feature being added slowly throughout the game.Comment by Miaya44Neat.

Now this begs the minor question. Will it be in sync with the weather in the connected starting zones?

In other words, if it's raining in Elywnn Forest will it be raining in Stormwind too?

It would be nice to have sandstorms in Orgrimmar :DComment by DaggersEdgeOMG, a win for roleplayers! This feature has been pushed back since WoD/Legion.Comment by Alatheiayea, I work night shift so when im online its always night time in wow. The moon is out, perfect for a night elf/night owl like myself :)Comment by DreyoshThis is such a small but impactful change. Love it :)Comment by TrumpcatAre they overhauling the skyboxes too? The low res pixelated old skyboxes looked terrible back in 2004, I hope the new sky isn't only during the new weather effects.Comment by bluspacecowHas anyone been able to reproduce this on Live ?Comment by NNanzOMFG! This is really really really cool! :OOOOOO (put any other jawdropping reaction you can imagine)

I'm going to resub right now! Hang onComment by MauldredIt's cool BUT why not the others main citys (TB / UC / IF / ...) ?
I dont like Orgrimmar...The city is so tasteless compare to SW.Comment by SunfallCMON GIVE ME THOSE SILVERMOON UPDATES ! *angry elf noises*Comment by LomedaeI like that they are switching weather back on again, it’s been too long since the streets of stormwind had a good washComment by kornfreak78Awesome! I love it.Comment by malavmalaAh yes.. finally.. storm and wind in the Stormwind.Comment by TofkeIt's baffling that it took so long for these things to come back.
A bit funny to me since yesterday I was playing Elder Scrolls Online and there was some proper rain and lightning and had a moment of: "Why didn't we have that in WoW".

They really need to get back working on the world and its atmosphere after their done cleaning the company and cleaning up the mess that is systems within systems. Atmosphere and world building is much more important than people give it credit.Comment by KurzoggI'd love to see this in classic, and I'd also love to know when Bobby Koptick is stepping down.Comment by angztIs day and night actually a thing? I can remember it was a thing at the starting years I guess but I feel like it is gone or am I wrong... Sure gonna have to test this later today :pComment by GrundlesmooGreat addition. Hopefully this change goes though all cities that have portals attached to them - Dalarans / Thumnderbluff / Outside Ironforge
