Please explain? i checked my Weather map using dfhack, all clear

[Urist McClown]

In tropical biomes, the four seasons are further grouped in pairs forming a wet season and a dry season.

Thanks, _lunatic

Wow..... say what? Noob with the win.

It's an irl thing. In the tropics, you only really refer to the seasons as wet and dry.

The four seasons are only for calendar purposes and have no real relationship to what's happening outside your window.

You'll probably also get a message like "Spring has arrived on the calendar!"

[Grus]

What are the actual ingame differences between wet and dry season? Ponds filling up, farming? Or are they functionally the same?

[Goatmaan]

Wet season means it'll rain a lot, so get surface work done quick.
Cuz " caught in the rain" isn't a happy thought.
Time to mine.

Why does rain cause bad thoughts, while seeing waterfalls cause good thoughts?

Getting caught in the rain causes bad thoughts (or more properly, increases stress).  Mist always creates good thoughts, well at least water mist does.  Not sure if surviving magma mist is relaxing.

The four seasons have to do with the sun. They're not just a construct. Just different on the equator and other side of the earth.

Eh, I meant to say they're only for calendar purposes at/around the equator. The further north/south you go, the more relevant they get. This is because the equator gets the same amount of sun-time year-round (almost exactly 50% per day). It makes sense if you think that if it's winter in the northern hemisphere, summer in the southern hemisphere, so what season is it going to be on the border between the two?

[Dunamisdeos]

I'm calling it the moist season.
