Grow a Garden has a cool global weather system that changes how the game feels and plays. There are 10 different weather types, and each one affects all players across every server at the same time, except for servers created after the weather event starts. This means everyone experiences the same weather, which makes the game feel connected.
These weather events can speed up how fast your crops grow and sometimes give them special mutations that make them more valuable. Some mutations only happen during special events, and some weather types can only be turned on by the game admins.
With that said, here’s an overview of all the weathers in Grow a Garden and the effects they provide.

Why Weather Matters in Grow a Garden
Each weather type changes how you play. For example, rain and thunderstorms help your crops grow faster, so you get more harvest in less time. Frost adds cool visual effects and can freeze crops if combined with wet weather.
Night and Blood Moon bring glowing crops with rare mutations, making your garden look magical and your harvest more valuable. Meteor Showers add a dramatic effect with falling stars that can boost your crops with special powers.
