Your home seems to be getting it all, @Elena Core! So far I have seen dust storm, snow, tumbleweeds, tornado, and lightning!

WHAN that Aprille with his shoures soote

The droghte  of Marche hath perced to the roote,

And bathed every veyne in swich  licour,

Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth      

Inspired hath in every holt  and heeth

The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

And smale fowles maken melodye,

That slepen al the night with open ye,      

(So priketh hem nature in hir corages:

Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages...

Aprille Foole!

I do have an actual "weather" request for the LL team @Patch Linden.

Years ago I discovered something that was once more widely known to others, that the SL Wind can vary in velocity and direction within a region. There's apparently a little fluid dynamics engine at work there, seeded by interactions with adjacent neighboring regions. Absent those neighbors, the wind within a region is uniform in velocity and direction. That aggregate vector still changes over time, but it's the same everywhere. This has significant impact on... my SL wind driven contemplation spot. It produces lovely motion on any region that has at least one adjacent neighbor and is best when a region is bordered by others on all four sides.

Any chance someone could tickle that fluid dynamics engine so lone regions don't have bland winds?

Here's a thread I started, in which we discussed this...

It was the firestorms, R.O.U.S, and immense cow/chicken battles that had me questioning what hellish weather does Belli have.  Don’t get me started on the hellfire that rained down after countless nuclear bombs were dropped.  Lindens and Moles are first and foremost trolls at heart and Patch is sitting on the Iron Throne leading them all. 😜

Ran into a patch of rough weather in Petticoat - tornado, fog, snow, rain....It drove me batty.

These particle effects are a performance nightmare.

19 FPS with them on

49 FPS with them off.

Alpha blended particle effects are the single most expensive thing to render in all of SL

Ryzen 7, RTX2060 ... it's not my PC.

Be glad it's only for today, then.

I'm sure everyone running SL on an integrated intel GPU who are now effectively locked out of their belli homes are loving it. Especially those who don't know you can switch particles off (via a 4 button key combo hidden in a secret menu)
