As it does sometimes in SH3. I have recently watched a thunderstorm roll in on my U-boat and the wind/sea state pick up over the course of 20 minutes in game at 1x TC.

However, as stated above... running above 256xTC can make the weather "stick" and resist logical change.

Running above 256xTC causes other problems relating to sensors and detection too... so its a good idea to run at 256xTC or less.

(I don't like to run above 128xTC because you may miss a contact/ship spotting. I've modified my personal installation to only show map contacts within visual range... Even radio contact reports in my installation reveal only general/minimal information.)

It seems I was not paranoid... sort of...
I've completed a patrol and started a new one and now the weather is changing around once a day!
Does anybody know if GWX models weather by location, by seasons?

Weather here is dry and windy (Comodoro Rivadavia, Patagonia Argentina). It can be like that a couple of days indeed or surpise you with some rain from time to time.
