@Stiebler: Your 6-days-period of storm made me sad. I never had that during my tests. So I'll have to look into the weather code again but I think I already know the reason:

I remember a scrambler (related to the counter at 0xDD02BC) that causes a bypass of the whole or at least some parts of the weather algorithm in 1 of 3 cases. and obviously, my fixes are also bypassed in 1 of 3 cases what makes them less effective.

I don't know the reason the devs added this scrambler. Maybe to disturb the strong correlation between the random numbers and the generated weather.

If my assumption really is the reason, what I hope, I will program a second version of the fix in which I simply disable the scrambler when I force good weather.
