In update 6, there was a new added option when you started a new game called "Weather". This option added temperature, meaning you have to pay attention to rain, snow, heatwaves, and more temperature-related events.

It consists of 5 weather types:

  • Clear (no special effects)
  • Overcast (no special effects)
  • Rain (decreases temperature and prisoners will increase clothing need faster outside)
  • Torrential rain (rare event, same as rain but with more intense effects)
  • Snow and frost (sightly decreases temperature)
  • Heatwave (rare event, sightly increases temperature)

Along with the addition of weather, there are now seasons (these events happen randomly). Weather was added in Update 6.
