Weather was introduced to Cantr in December 2013. Weather can be viewed on the location page and it's visible to people outside, including in vehicles, on deck of ships and walking on roads. As of January 13, 2014 it's also be possible to see the weather through a window when indoors.
Different areas have different weather and may also have a different season. Places next to each other are more likely to have similar weather. Most areas have 4 seasons, while some only have 2 or 1.

- Cloudy
- Downpour
- Drizzle
- Foggy
- Hail
- Light snow
- Rain
- Snowfall

Some of the weather statuses create an event message when they start, such as rain, snow or fog. Neutral ones (sun, clear, cloudy) do not trigger an event message.

Status messages:
- Windless
