Serene Skies - Western Sahara

Description
Serene Skies removes the Cloud System from Sefrou-Ramal.

Features:
No rain.
No cloud cover.
Dry thunderstorms.
(Dry thunderstorms produce thunder and lightning but most or all of its precipitation evaporates before reaching the ground, a common feature of a desert region.)

Considerations for Missionmakers
Although clouds have been removed Overcast values still apply, meaning it will still darken as Overcast values are applied.

Although rain has been removed it can still be forced by using the override feature in the Environmental Settings, however there will still be no cloud cover, only overcast.

While in the Editor, setting Overcast values beyond 70% will result in falling rain, this will cease upon mission start unless the rain override feature has been used.

Raison d'être:
I wanted to experiment with a mod that created weather conditions similar to a desert region without using the environmental settings found in Eden, basically plug and play.

It's already been pointed out to me that these conditions can be met with the environmental settings, however, in my own testing on very long missions that span consecutive day/night cycles, the arma engine will always generate light cloud cover especially around dawn.

This mod will negate this from happening.

Final note:
Incompatible with Sullen Skies - Western Sahara.

Server key included.

Thanks for the feedback, I might make more based on recommendations.
This was just a public experiment as it's the complete opposite of Sullen Skies.
