Weather

Weather is an Item in the Tygron Platform that can be referenced by Water Overlays. It can also be used as a visual weather effect in the 3D Visualization. However, certain visual elements related to weather, such as clouds and sunshine, are controlled using Environment settings.

Different types of weather

There are different behaviors that are considered weather types in the Tygron Platform. These behaviors/weather types can be triggered automatically, or specifically through an event (bundle), linked to a Measure, or Scenario. The available weather types are listed below.

Rain

When 'Rain' is triggered, the local water level rises, reducing the storage capacity available to mitigate flooding.

Snow

The weather type 'Snow' is a winter style visualization of the weather type 'Rain' and behaves accordingly. Currently only falling snow is being visualized.

Drought

The weather type 'Drought' makes the area brighter (bloom) and water levels drop, when triggered. A dropped water level enlarges the water storage capacity of an area.
