The plugin can work as a standalone extension of the Unity editor, collecting real-time weather data that can be used as input for your components.

Features:

The current Real-Time Weather version supports integration with:

1. Enviro - complete and dynamic AAA sky and weather solution which provides the ability to simulate weather, day-night cycle, clouds, and vegetation growth and seasons.
2. Tenkoku - brings completely dynamic high-fidelity sky and weather, as well as provides the ability to simulate weather, day and night cycle, and clouds.
3. Massive Clouds Atmos - provides the ability to render the entire sky with volumetric effects, while adjusting it for various weather conditions.
4. Expanse - a state-of-the-art volumetric tool for HDRP that gives you the power to author beautiful skies, clouds, and fog banks.

All the integrations can be imported from the Unity Asset Store.

Weather Data Accuracy

• Weather data collected from public weather websites
• Possibility to prioritize the order of the weather provider - useful when a provider offers more exact data, given a certain area/region/continent
• Possibility to change/alter the update frequency of the transmitted weather data
• Similar weather data, from nearby areas, in case the entered location cannot be queried (for geographic coordinates input)

Input Methods

• Country name, state name (for the USA), and city name.
• Latitude & longitude.
