Snow in the A-League?

Playing as Melbourne Heart against Adelaide at Hindmarsh, there's blatant snow, and I can't recall the last time the temperature got to 0 degrees and was snowing.

Just a small thing to remove. Rain, definetly, but not snow in Australia.

That's gobal warming for you.

If there's snow in Adelaide, imagine how bad it'll be when you get back to Melbourne :OOOOOO

Don't forget A-League is played in middle of summer. So of course there should be snow.

What a joke. Adelaide doesn't even get snow in winter. More likely to be 30-40 degrees.

This has been mentioned by people before, and if I recall correctly, it's because the weather model on the game is fairly simplified. Based on location, season, and randomness I think.

They choose an approximate climate, and let it do it's thing... Adelaide obviously comes in far South enough on the mathematics of it all that snow has a probability of greater than 0.

Adelaide is one of the hottest cities in Aus if not the hottest. Last summer or the one before that maybe they had 8 straight days of 40+ degrees. People were dying from the heat.

Now it does snow in some parts of Aus usually until mid Sep at the latest although this year we had snow in Tasmania as low as 700m ASL in Oct or Nov not sure but until last couple of weeks it has been a very mild summer and snow in mid to late spring is unusual.

I think the latititude/longitude (don't know which it is) might play a part - Adelaide is in South Australia, and therefore must somewhere be lined up with a country which is as for South, but has a climate which allows snow.

That's like the weather in the game for Scotland - quite often I've seen the temp be in the mid to high 20s in Glasgow - in October

Or snow and temp. 0 degrees in Madrid in May. Happened to me when I was playing Atletico.

Haven't had any snow all year, managing in Finland...

The weather system is fubar

I’d say Perth is hotter, only cos it’s so fricken’ humid. A-League is played through Summer isn’t it?

I think the problem is that the weather parameters for Adelaide/mid SA coast show in spring that it has a 3% chance of being cold.

Which probably means that the game interprets this as being cold enough to snow when there is precipitation.

So yes I believe this flaw is due to the weather in game being very simple.

To be fair to SI it would be a nightmare to create seperate weather for every city.

Also I don't think it takes into account different times of the day. So when it says it has a 3% chance of being cold that would probably only be o/night. Yes it probably could get to around 0 degrees o/night in early spring it wouldn't during the day or early night.

Keep it in for comedic purposes!

Yes it does seem strange. On the whole the weather effects are slowly improving each release however there is still room for a lot more. I am managing in Ireland and it always rains in the second half regardless of the forecast, always the second half, it can start sunny and then rain or it might rain all game, but I have never seen it rain and then clear up.

21st August 2008 I seem to remember it snowing in Adelaide.

I haven't been playing lately, but do recall some weird things happening in regards to weather - like the report being breezy on +10 degrees but during the match the commentary read that 'players were trudging through the rain'. It appears to rain even when it says (in the match information during games) that it is dry. If you experience any weird weather behavior it might be a good idea to send in a copy of your game so that they can look at it. The final patch is comming up so I don't think there will be much time if they are not aware of this thus not doing any changes for the changelist....

Real life or game?

Most of A-League is played through spring-autumn. Although OP didn't specify date.

Real life. I googled it.

I stand corrected but although it would probably only snow in the hills and not in the coastal and low lying areas.

Can the OP please specify the date of the game.

But like I said before the game doesn't seem to take into account time of day. I have seen temperature of 0 and below in Sydney at 3pm. Does get that cold but only overnight.

Request the installation of Underground heating - hehe

I hadn't seen this before, I'll have to check Adelaide's weather settings and see if something needs to be changed. Pity it came up a day after the data deadline, if anything needs to be changed i'll log it as bug and fingers crossed it can be done for the upcoming patch

Not as funny as when my game of FM showed heavy snow and below °0 in the Bay Area of California in America, a place that hasn't seen weather like that, well, ever.

I live in Adelaide and it's pretty warm most of the time! Most people i know have never even seen snow - it's like mythical fairy dust.

This topic is being given way too much lip service.

It seems to permanently 12 degrees and drizzle in Melbourne in December in mine.

Guys, it's about the football not the weather.

It rains every game in England from November - March, but I don't care.

It is also sunny and 25+ degrees in June/July/August which is unrealistic but it really doesn't effect the game much at all.
