Does this also generate atmospheric weather effects based on real-time weather data? Like if it's raining, would you see rain?

As a person currently experiencing some weather - no.

Somewhat. It currently simulates wind speed and direction for the movement of clouds. It also supports the ability to simulate cloud cover percentage (in the advanced options)— the reason it's not on by default is because we want users to get the best view of the sky no matter what the weather is like outside, so we default to 20%.

Other factors like rain could happen in the future.
