'''Precipitation''' is a
Precipitation can be described by its type, intensity, accumulation, and duration. All of these depend on the season. The type, as described above, is the kind of precipitation, whether it's rain, hail, or snow. The intensity determines how heavy the precipitation is. For example, hail may or may not be heavy enough to damage crops and injure Sims, snow may occur in light flurries or in a heavy snowfall that eventually covers the ground, and rain may fall in showers or in a thunderstorm. The duration is random.
Each season also brings different chances of daily precipitation:

*Winter: 50% daily chance
Additionally, precipitation will neither occur nor stop if ''Tempus Interruptus'' [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)|spell]] is cast by a [[

[[File:Rain.png|left]]Rain occurs in almost all seasons, except
In ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', Sims are more likely to do indoor activities while it is raining. Rain also satisfies a [[PlantSim]]
In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', rain occurs more in spring. Sims who stay outside in the rain for too long without an umbrella will get a "Soaked" moodlet that decreases their mood. [[Mermaid]]s enjoy the rain, however, and will get a boost in mood if they get soaked.{{Vgversion|TS3:IP}} [[SimBot]]s that go outside in the rain will short out and stop functioning.{{Vgversion|TS3:A}} [[Plumbot]]s are water-resistant and are not affected by the rain.{{Vgversion|TS3:ITF}}
In ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', rain mostly occurs in summer and heavily in spring and fall. Sims who are outside when it's raining will become [[uncomfortable]] and get their clothes soaked. They can, however, change out of their wet clothes when they go inside. An umbrella racket can be bought in [[Build mode (The Sims 4)|build mode]] that Sims can use to get an umbrella, which they can use to stay dry. Sims with 500 aspiration points can also buy the "Waterproof" trait from the [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 4)|aspiration reward store]], which will make them resistant to the rain. Sims can also take a shower in the rain, or play in the rain.
===Rain Puddles===▼
[[File:Puddle splashing.jpg|thumb|200px|Rain puddles for frolicking, the other one... is not]]Rain puddles begin to appear after it has been raining for a while. This kind of puddle is different from the regular one. Sims can splash in the puddles to raise fun. They can also mop them up, though that is not necessary because outdoor rain puddles will evaporate after the rain has stopped. Indoor rain puddles still need to be mopped.▼
Rain also appears as a feature in ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]''. Rain appears in some console games, such as [[The Sims 2: Pets (console)|''The Sims 2: Pets'' for console]] and ''[[The Sims 2: Castaway]]'', although it is much simpler than in PC titles.
Rain puddles and original puddles can be easily distinguished by their colors; rain puddles are paler. Rain puddles will not mix with other puddles even if they're adjacent to each other. Only rain puddles can evaporate.▼
▲===Rain puddles{{Anchor|Rain Puddles}}===
How quick the rain puddles form depends on the intensity of the rain. Thus, the heavier the rain is, the faster rain puddles appear.▼

In ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', mud piles can also occur during heavy rainfalls, where Sims can have mud fights with each other.

Lightning in ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' is less dangerous than in ''The Sims 2: Seasons''. When lightning strikes Sims, it is treated as death by electrocution. Unlike ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', Sims cannot be struck in a hot tub and pool. Lightning in ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' also won't cause fires.
===The Sims Castaway Stories===▼
In ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', lighting strikes occur during thunderstorms and can sometimes cause damage to the neighborhood, such as striking large objects and setting them on fire. Lightning strikes can also spawn metals and elements at the spot where the strike hits. Sims who get struck by lightning multiple times within a few hours will get the "HyperCharged" moodlet, giving them the ability to summon lightnings. They can't, however, harm other Sims with the ability. Sims can also die by lightning, if they are struck enough times.
==Hail==
*'''Seasons''': Summer (10%)
*'''Intensities''': Light and heavy
*'''Accumulation Levels''': Hail on
[[File:Hail.png|left]]Summer is the only season in which hail occurs. Hail can be light or heavy, and heavy hail can be deadly. When heavy hail falls, Sims react by covering their heads. Light hail doesn't impact Sims' motives, while heavy hail will drain their motives quickly.
Hail tends to be briefer than other forms of precipitation, but heavy hail may last long enough to accumulate on the ground and on roofs, though it will not build up as snow does. However, unlike real-world hail, even heavy hail will not damage objects that are outdoors.
Hail is not present as a weather type in ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]''.
==Snow==

Snow can damage the quality of crops in ''The Sims 2: Seasons''. In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', crops will become dormant in winter and will not be affected by snow. While some crops become dormant during winter in ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', there are also crops that don't become dormant and are unaffected by snow.
These activities can mostly be done if there is heavy snow accumulation.▼
In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' and ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', Sims who stay outside in the snow for too long without outerwear can [[Death|freeze to death]].
*Sims can have snowball fights with others. This is similar to having water balloon fights.
*Sims can build [[Snowman|snowmen]] alone or together. Snowmen, partial or finished, attract penguins.{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}

Some interactions are not available outdoors when there is snow. Sims cannot [[hanging out|hang out]], stargaze, perform [[yoga]], or jump rope outdoors in the snow.{{Vgversion|TS2}}
