The weather cycle is shared across all ships and blocks. It has been theorized that the weather is selected at random from a list, with each weather change having their own unique probability and a set duration that the weather will last for. Once the duration of the selected weather is over, the game will cycle through the list to pick a new type of weather. It possible for the same type of weather to be selected, which results in the current weather being extended.
