*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

Best rain in SL
I've had a lot of Weather/Rain Systems already. This one is by far the best one. (i don't like crappy looking particle rain)
I dont generally write reviews but...
I was looking for a prim weather system for my skybox on mainland. I went to the store to check out a demo. The owners were super helpful, and I chose this one as I needed it to be copyable. I rezzed it on my land and love it. I am so impressed. This will be the spring addition to my skybox.
Good But...Not the Ultimate.
The weather looks and sounds good but it doesn't support group control.
That means that only the owner can control the weather.
When I bought it and discovered that, I was told, you should have bought the "Ultimate".
When I asked for an upgrade I was told it's a different system so there is no upgrade.
So when is the "Best Weather" not the best? I guess it's when it's not the Ultimate....
Absolutely wonderful
I have been in SL for long time and have tried all the weather systems out there and this is by far the best rain and snow, not to mention realistic that I have ever seen. I just love this. Good work sir :)
