DWP — Dynamic Weather Project
DWP (Dynamic Weather Project) expands Arma Reforger's vanilla weather system with immersive weather events, environmental hazards, and a fully functional weather monitoring system.
Designed for both singleplayer and multiplayer, DWP enhances battlefield immersion while remaining fully compatible with the vanilla weather system.

Weather events can be individually enabled or disabled, allowing server owners to tailor DWP to their map and scenario.
Dynamic Weather Monitor
The included Weather Monitor provides real-time environmental information, including:
Current weather state 
Wind speed 
Rain intensity 
Fog density 
Visibility 
Road conditions 
Surface conditions 
Weather warnings 
Live weather updates 
The monitor dynamically displays the current weather state and its corresponding weather visualization.
Environmental Hazards
DWP doesn't just change the weather — it changes gameplay.
Current environmental effects include:
Players can be struck by real lightning during thunderstorms. 
Lightning can strike anywhere across the battlefield, creating unpredictable hazards. 
Sandstorms affect helicopter performance by gradually degrading rotor efficiency during prolonged exposure. 
Helicopter warning systems alert pilots before critical rotor damage occurs. 
Tornado weather spawns a fully functional tornado at a random location on the map and keeps it active while the weather event is active. 
Dense Fog and Sandstorms significantly reduce AI visual perception. 
AI perception dynamically adapts to severe weather conditions. 
Frost can affect the entire character, including AI, with slippery surfaces and a chance of losing footing and entering ragdoll. 
Heatwaves provide additional environmental heat effects. 
Additional environmental effects are planned for future updates.
Game Master Configuration
Every custom weather event can be individually enabled or disabled directly through the Game Master menu.
This allows server owners to fully customize the available weather conditions for their scenarios.
Examples:
Disable Sandstorms for European maps. 
Disable Heatwaves for cold environments. 
Disable Snowstorms for desert environments. 
Disable Tornado events for smaller scenarios. 
Disable Frost on maps where winter conditions aren't appropriate. 
Enable only the weather events that fit your mission. 
No scripting or configuration files required.
Multiplayer
All weather events and environmental hazards are synchronized by the server, ensuring every player experiences the same dynamic weather conditions.
DWP is designed to work in both singleplayer and multiplayer environments.
Compatibility
DWP is designed as a standalone weather expansion and does not require other weather mods.
Optional compatibility integrations with other mods may be added in the future without making those mods required dependencies.
Design Philosophy
DWP is not intended to replace Arma Reforger's vanilla weather system.
Instead, it expands the existing system with dynamic weather events and environmental gameplay mechanics while preserving the original Arma Reforger experience.
The goal is to create a dynamic weather and environmental gameplay framework where weather isn't simply visual — it can directly affect players, AI, vehicles, aircraft, visibility, and the battlefield itself.
Future updates will continue to introduce new weather events and environmental effects, allowing DWP to evolve into a comprehensive dynamic weather and environmental gameplay framework.
