It’s been raining here all day. Yet in game it’s been cloudy. How can the weather be so wrong? I am trying to get rainy day Pikmin. But if the weather isn’t being correctly displayed that isn’t going to happen.
Another day where we have had a downpour for the last 6 hours and it’s still hasn’t stopped.
Pikmin: “it’s a bit gray outside!”
No! It’s not. Even the ducks are carrying umbrellas. It’s blooming raining is what it is!!
The weather in Pokemon Go and other Niantic games is said to use AccuWeather data (I don’t think there was an official announcement). It is said that there are many differences in Japan, and I was quite miffed by the acquisition of snow deco in winter.
My suggesion is “you might be able to get by if you use AccuWeather weather instead of actual weather”. It may be better to act as if it is the weather in the game world and not the real weather.
