Would be nice to know which weather is coming to say to the player "you see in the distance an dark cloud formation come ..." ;) So he can prepere and planing routes/rest

I like the idea of a forecast, but right now the weather isn't actually connected to the day... A change of day is just one way that the weather can be triggered to change.

I also think at some point there may be a need to change weather mid-day (for ex. to be able to generate a much lower temperature at night in a desert), which will make this even more complex.

How would you see that interacting with a) the "regenerate" button and b) manually specifying weather? If I hit regenerate should it regenerate the next few days? Or move to the next "day" in the sequence? Or something else? If I manually pick weather, what happens to the forecast?

For the tempeature at day and night, you could just generate it together (lowest and highest temp of the day). Having a hourly change would be too much for me.

My suggestions for your questions: a) with regeneration the next day could also change, but doesn't have to b.1) I think there are situations, where I just want to have the normal weather as predicted before (like with magical changed weather) b.2) but if it's just a situation like "adventure book says it's snowy" and I change it to it, the next day should go with the generator. b.3) there may be the situation, I would like to have the option to change the next day, but not the current one b.4) If the PCs do not have the skills/knowledge to interprete the weather, I would like to hide the weather forecast

Could also make midnight and noon the trigger points for weather changes.

Also, having the option to hard set an upcoming day so that the algorithm chooses the weather you selected instead of generating a new one.

Also weather prediction doesn't have to be 100% accurate (like in reality).
