## **Dynamic Weather Plugin – Changelog v2.1.1**

**Release Date**: *July 22, 2025*

### **New Features & Enhancements**

## Realistic Heat System

* Gradually applies weather-based temperature effects to players with **smooth stat transitions** (no flicker).
* Heat effects apply **only if exposed**, skipped when:

* Indoors or under roof
* Inside vehicle
* Swimming/standing in water
* Standing near heat sources like fireplaces **increases heat**.

## Wet Clothing Drying

* At temps ≥ 20°C, these slots dry automatically:
`Body, Legs, Feet, Gloves, Headgear, Vest, Back, Mask, Eyewear, Shoulder, Melee, Hips, Armband`

## **Advanced Snowfall Control**

* Define: `"snowfall_threshold_min"`, `"snowfall_threshold_max"`, and `"snowfall_threshold_timeout"`.
* Snow triggers only when overcast is within thresholds, with double-check scheduling.

## **Storm & Thunder Controls**

* New preset options:

* `"storm"` — enable/disable storm
* `"thunder_threshold"` — min intensity for thunder
* `"thunder_timeout"` — delay between thunder strikes
* If `storm = false`, lightning is suppressed.

## **Chat Commands & Config**

### `DynamicWeatherSettings.json`

* New server config for public weather commands or only activate on a test server to test different weather configs:

* `!skipweather` — skip to next random preset
* `!weatherstatus` — show current preset & temperature

## **Fixes & Stability**

* Fixed temperature flickering with smooth stat interpolation.
* Prevented weather heat effects indoors, in vehicles, or underwater.
* Snowfall now only triggers under valid conditions.
* Volumetric fog resets cleanly if inactive.
* Updated default weather template with snowfall, thunder, wind, and safe temps.

### **Stay Weather-Ready, Survivors!**
