How the new weather works

Weather is no longer one thing for the whole map. Every real hour, on the hour, the game rolls a weather and picks one area for it out of 19 routes, towns and places. You only get that weather while you are standing in that area, everyone else has clear skies. Go indoors, into a gym or into a dark cave and it pauses until you come back out.

Each hour also picks one Pokémon that is "acting strangely" in that area. The weather popup tells you which one and where, so if you want it, go there while the weather lasts.

Meteor Showers always land in Cosmeos Valley. Snow and hail are a lot more common in December.

The Town Map now has a forecast tab. It shows the next 24 hours: the weather, the hour it starts, the area it hits and the Pokémon acting strangely there, plus a column for event weather. Use it to plan where to be.

Weathers you can get: Heavy Rainfall, Explosive Thunderstorms, Strong Gusts, Thick Fog, Toxic Smog, Pelting Hailstorm, Blinding Snowstorm, Meteor Shower, Northern Lights, Savage Sandstorms, Spacial Anomalies and the new Smoldering Heat. Blood Moon and Seasonal Fireworks only show up during their events.
