*Note this system is best for 4096 parcels and smaller or "spots of weather on larger parcels....this system has a 10 rezzer LIMIT. if you do not have an area of 18 X 18 to fit this rezzer in, we recommend a particle system. For a larger and more flexible system with resizing and 1/7 the prims, please visit https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MY-WEATHER-CONTROLLER-rain-and-snow-for-sims-and-parcels/25578981
Why did we call this "Best Weather"? Because it's the best way to create the most realistic weather effect on SL.
Why was this system created?
Some real estate companies do not allow weather systems on commercial land for causing lag. I felt this was understandable but also something that needed to be worked around. The reason weather systems are not permitted for some is for the amount of lag caused by particle rezzers and the video lag created by the particles themselves. This system ONLY uses animated textures, producing a more realistic rain without causing server or video card handicaps.
As specified in the LSL scripting wiki - animated textures do not cause any lag.
WEATHER MODES - There are 3 modes for rain and 2 modes for snow plus thunder (with lightning) which can be turned on or off in each mode. Each mode uses a different realistic sound effect to match the rain. Puddles also are effect by which mode you choose to add realism.
Off
Drizzle
Light Rain
Hard Rain
Thunder on/off
Light Snow
Heavy Snow
CONTROLLERS
There are 3 options for controlling the rain for the owner by clicking on either:
1. Best Weather HUD - Gives Owner only usable menu.
2. Best Weather Umbrella Stand - gives Umbrella to any user and also acts as a controller for owner - others get an umbrella with no controls.
3. Best Weather Umbrella - Gives Owner only usable menu.
Features:
BEST WEATHER Rezzer is copyable and multiple rezzers will listen to commands from the owner all at once.
BEST WEATHER REZZER contains multiple prims for giving rain a surround sound effect while in the rain.
When rain is set to OFF....rezzer only uses 1 prim (7 prims when on).
BEST RAIN is NOT a weather system and does not use any particles - meaning it's lag free and will not bog down your video card.
18 X 18 x 24 meters per rezzer

Very Cool
This is a very fun product. When I added it to the parcel, it was as easy as pie to use. I even went into the edit mode and changed the color of the rain to match the Parcel Theme.
Absolutely awesome
I saw this in another sim and amazed by it, so I stalked it down on the marketplace....it works GREAT, no lag, and so realistic. Really love the sound effects too! Well worth the price!!
Great Weather System and friendly Creator
Best weather system i ever had. Low prim and everything i want and need in a weather system.
Very Good!
I tasted many weather machines, but that Weather box is really the best i have ever seen.
Very Realistic and easy... thank you :)
The Name Says it All
Best Weather? - they ain't lying. This is the best rain and snow effects I have seen in SL. Amazingly realistic (love the puddles), easy to use, and no noticeable lag. I am so happy with this purchase.
