Easy Weather Manager
Last updated 6 October 2026
EasyWeatherManager is the root component of the EasyWeather prefab. It finds and initializes the modules, updates them every frame (in Edit Mode too, so the Scene view previews the sky), and creates the audio sources if they are missing. Use one manager per scene.
The inspector has the sections System Settings, Module Overview, Module References and Audio Sources.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
autoUpdate | Updates the system every frame. When off, nothing updates and you call the modules yourself |
verboseLogging | Writes step by step messages to the console: day rollovers, weather scheduling, cloud generation. Off by default. Warnings and errors always show |
createDefaultVolume | When the scene has no global post processing Volume, the manager creates one (a child named Global Volume). A scene that already has a global Volume is left exactly as it is |
defaultVolumeProfile | The profile for that Volume. Weather presets blend their own profiles on top of it |
timeModule, celestialModule, cloudModule, detailModule, weatherEffectsModule, eventsModule | References to the six modules |
weatherAudioSource, windAudioSource, thunderAudioSource, ambientAudioSource | Played by the running weather preset |
ambienceDayAudioSource, ambienceNightAudioSource, ambienceWindAudioSource | Clear weather ambience, crossfaded by time of day. See Weather Effects Module |
