Feycat Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 I just noticed that while I had a huge thunderstorm going on, my windmills were still. The wind speed should definitely at least be related to the weather. No reason you can't have a strong wind during a clear day, but having a calm wind during a huge storm is really not immersive.

It's also not unusual for strong winds to accompany heavy rain, though the strongest wind is generally due to the squall line moving through. That being said, for a violent storm with lots of rain, I would certainly expect strong winds to go with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 Where I live it's a crap shoot whether the wind will precede the storm, continue through the storm or no wind whatsoever. Summer thunderstorms can be anywhere from 5 minutes up to 40 minutes and I've seen all three of those situations every single summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
