Clouds and Weather improvements, Weather effects and Weather themes

Gonna be long.. *cough cough*
**Please do not move this to suggestions, because this thread would probably become more of a discussion**

Clouds&Weather improvements
Let me start by saying that regarding to the cloud update, there should be more weather.

And I think clouds should be better if its like this:
Like this. Few to no clouds at all.
Like this. Few to no clouds at all.
A sunny day would have no clouds at all or few clouds. In the pic, I blackened the dark areas by 20%.
Like this. Few to no clouds at all.
Like this. Few to no clouds at all.
A cloudy day would have a pretty great number of clouds. I blackened the dark areas by 20% here too, but there are many dark areas.
Like this. A lot of clouds.
Like this. A lot of clouds.
An overcast would mean the entire map is darkened. I blackened the dark areas by 50%.
Like this. The entire map is full of clouds. (Don't mind the pic name p!ease)
Like this. The entire map is full of clouds. (Don't mind the pic name p!ease)
A rainy day would just be an overcast, except it is raining. I have no photo for this. The dark areas are blackened by 50%, plus rain.

A stormy day is just like an overcast, but it's way darker and there are rains and thunder.
Like this. Like an overcast, but darker and the rain is worse.
Like this. Like an overcast, but darker and the rain is worse.
In all of these weather, a fog can happen the same time.
Also, a nice fade out effect would be cool if a weather will change.


PART 2
Weather effects

Regarding to its name.
For example, the chance of having the fire disaster is very high when sunny, higher when cloudy, neutral when its overcast, lower when its raining, and very lower when storming.

The chances of having a Flood disaster is higher when its raining, very high when its storming, neutral when its overcast , lower when its cloudy and very low when its sunny.

The chances of getting a Tornado is very high when stormy, higher when its overcast, neutral when its raining, lower when its cloudy and very low when its sunny.

Noise from factories, etc. is most effective when its stormy, more effective when its rainy, neutral when its overcast, cloudy and sunny. Because noise from rain and storms may be tolerable enough- but when we add the effects of noise pollution, then its.. achy.

The list go on, but that are some of the things I listed. Please list more!

PART 3

Weather themes

There are more, but I'll list 3:

When there is a meteor, BEFORE, DURING and a short time AFTER the meteor strike, the screen will be red. In this I reddened it by 30%.
Like this. The entire map is red.
Like this. The entire map is red.
When there is a nuke attack, DURING and a short time AFTER the attack, the screens will be red (too). In this, because the effects of a nuke is way worse, I reddened it by 50%.
Like this. The entire map is red.
Like this. The entire map is red.
(I do not think this is too realistic) When there is a UFO attack, WHEN the laser beams are striking, the screen will be green. In this I greedened it by 30%.
Like this. The entire map is green.
Like this. The entire map is green.
A nice fade out effect would be cool. Also, there should be also weather effects. For example, when there is a meteor or nuke, when its cloudy or sunny, all the clouds would dissapear, assuming that they evaporated. When its overcast, it will be cloudy. When its raining, the rain will stop and would simply be an overcast. When its storming, the storm would simply become rain.
Too much clouds are not enough to be completely evaporated.

Huh... The 50% darkened version could be good for a " night brighteness "
