At one point I tried this in RPGMaker 2, but I was using variables up the wazoo. 1 varaible for the longitude, 1 for latitude, 1 for time of day, 1 for humidity. If you don't have a good idea about how weather works I don't recomend it. Your map will just have random effects that people won't like(like having lightning durring a snowstorm, or something else random like that).

If you want to though, I recomend doing some research(that's what real game designers do) to see what causes rain(when humidity breaks the... something ...point). It's been a while since I looked at that game. That way if you get it working you can do many things, such as the closer you are to the "equator" of your map, the less likely you will have snow. And the farther south/north, the less likely you will have rain. And if you put in a vairable for terrain height, you could also put that in as a factor, making mountains colder, etc.




But that's a full blown project, and I'm assuming you just want something quick. Just have athing say Every 2 minites, pick a random number, if 1 start weather effect lightning, etc etc etc.
