Every day there are tons of shooting stars but each one lasts only five seconds and so your chances of seeing them are very very small. Moreover, they only are visible in darkness during the daily darkness of the Saris eclipse. The sky must also be clear (no rain, snow, or storm). During summer 4, the planet travels through an asteroid belt increasing the chances exponentially.
Your job is to come up with their chances of seeing a shooting star whatever they type .sky or .weather.
They come up with the color of the shooting star, choose one of the colors below randomly, and then run through its probability. If it DOES NOT land on that ⅓ chance, for example, choose another color randomly. If you have a better way, please let me know.
Color | Chance of Appearing |
---|---|
White | 1/3 |
Pink | 1/3 |
Purple | 1/5 |
Blue | 1/10 |
Navy Blue | 1/12 |
Cyan | 1/14 |
Turquoise | 1/16 |
Green | 1/18 |
Lime | 1/24 |
Yellow | 1/48 |
Amber | 1/96 |
Orange | 1/192 |
Black | 1/384 |
Red | 1/768 |
All chances are DOUBLE on a night where both moons are hidden.
In a similar way, during each time of daily darkness which has no snow, rain, or storm you have a decent chance (⅓) of seeing an aurora.

What I want you to do with each of these is to come up with a total planetary weather system. None of this has any use right now but later on, very special things will only happen during special occasions.
For example, certain creatures will only come out when a blue aurora follows a superstorm.
You want this weather system to be as deep and as imaginative as possible.
All the weather on the planet should be connected and somewhat predictable. Use the average temperatures I've given to come up with a random daily temperature number. However, have things be relatively predictable in that if one day it's snowing it shouldn't suddenly be 30 degrees above the next day. Make sure variation stays reasonable. During a superstorm, it must necessarily be raining.
It shouldn't be above 0 in temperature and be snowing.
There are a lot of small common sense things I could not possibly specify in detail. Please use common sense. If you're used to Fahrenheit you're going to have to really get to know Celsius quite well. 0*c, 32*f = freezing.
