Also by the way thanks to everybody for being so helpful on this topic! I should post here more often. ;)

Not necasserily. "Good weather" is subjective. To a ski resort, good weather means plenty of snow, which could potentially mean blizzards. But let's assume that a tropical climate is your definition for "good weather", for 6 months they have the dry season which brings good weather, the other six months is the wet season, when cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons happen. These things only happen in the tropics and nowhere else. Also, storms are more likely to happen in warmer places than colder ones.

Yeah, that's my problem with the validity on this one, I just can't really think of one that would fit perfectly for it.

Your validity could be "valid to all"

Good weather in this game means sunny weather, as evidenced by the measurement unit.

I think bad weather validity is actually very sensible, and consistent with past issues about bad weather

I agree. Sunny weather occurs virtually almost everywhere on the planet, it just depends on what the temperature is.

Option 1, I don't know whether it's just me or... but anyway, I don't think this is suitable for this situation:

"It's something you think could never happen to you," says @@RANDOMNAME@@. "One day I'm just minding my own business..."
I just don't think that's a good way to discuss the weather

I thought of something along the lines of "you think it could never happen to you" because, say for instance, a tornado directly hits your home, in your head you are thinking what are the odds of that happening(very small). Of course you could say that they should have known that could happen because they could possibly live in a tornado prone area, but even if that was the case the odds of it happening still aren't that big. I'm always up for changing it but yes that is what I was thinking when I wrote it.

I like it. Its a decent issue.

My only worry remaining is that between the live issues and previous submissions, there are a lot of "bad weather happening, what do you do?" issues.

*snerk*

"As you should already know, Bob, we've recently defurbished the coaffixials on the Dimension X viewer and... "

Reminds me of dialogue from a Z-grade 50's sci-fi movie. :)

Picking on Doctor Exposition-man, Phd. aside, I like this. We had two hailstorms with softball sized hail, following several with golf ball sized, in the DFW area back in 2012. I can just see any Dallasite getting this issue in their queue and wincing in sympathy just from the memory.

Good luck on this. I hope to get it in my issues queue some day. :)
