Weather events in Grow a Garden are universal experiences shared across servers that can lead to possible mutations for your crops. At the very least, they'll speed up plant growth, which is always a bonus! The weather system operates on both predictable and random elements, creating exciting opportunities for strategic farming and valuable crop mutations.

Rain is the most common weather event you'll experience in Grow a Garden. When it rains, the sunny bright sky is replaced with a gloomy, cloudy one. Rain causes the Wet mutation to plants and is doubly beneficial - it increases the speed at which your plants grow by 50%, and there's a 50% chance that fruit will earn the [Wet] mutation, which doubles their value.

Frost events are far less likely to occur than rain, but when they happen, you can get 2 different types of mutations! Frost can give plants either [Chilled] or [Frozen] mutations. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be regular intervals at which Frost occurs - it can happen twice in one hour or every 2-4 hours, but it does occur multiple times a day.

Thunderstorms are the most elusive weather events, with no set intervals. They can occur twice in one hour, 3 times a day, or even 9 times in a day on different occasions. Thunderstorms can bring both [Wet] mutations like rain, but the most profitable is the [Shocked] mutation that comes from lightning strikes, providing a massive 50x value multiplier.

Understanding weather timing is crucial for farming success. Night events occur every 4 hours and last 10 minutes, with a 33% chance of Blood Moon instead of regular night. Meteor Showers can happen during any night event, offering the valuable Celestial mutation (120x multiplier). The recently added Tornado event creates multiple tornadoes that grant the Twisted mutation (30x multiplier), while Heat Wave events beam sunrays that can apply the powerful Sundried mutation with an 85x selling multiplier.
