A few weeks ago and after a pretty long wait, Animal Crossing New Horizons finally saw an update that introduced a bunch of new content for the summer here in the northern hemisphere, including the Fireworks Shows as well as the ACNH items. Now we're probably only about halfway through the content released in the most recent ACNH content update leaving mostly seasonal items left to be distributed. In today’s guide, we are going to find out new weather updates 2021 in Animal Crossing New Horizons according to data-mine, and guess what is going back to the game?

ACNH Weather Update Datamine 2021 

Thanks to the data miners, the ACNH weather prediction updates also give us an idea of what other content and features we're likely working towards. The most notable discovery from the latest data mine is some additional Halloween items that have been added already to give the Halloween event later in October  2021. Also uncovers some interesting changes to the weather patterns which could be hinting at something bigger is coming. 

New Weather Will Be Added In Animal Crossing New Horizons

As any New Horizons player will know the game features dynamic weather with very random patterns and combinations that change every single hour and every single day. However, the new horizons weather isn't as random as it seems and every single island has its own unique permutations of over 20 patterns. To the point, it's incredibly unlikely you'll ever encounter another player with the exact same combination of weather patterns. The latest data-mine suggests three new weather patterns have been programmed into the game to top up the number of weather patterns available, to create permutations, these include as follows: 

Name - 0:00 - 1:00 - 2:00 - 3:00 - 4:00 - 5:00 - 6:00 - 7:00 - 8:00 - 9:00 - 10:00 - 11:00

Fine07(AM): Clear - Clear - Sunny - Sunny - Clear - Clear -  Sunny - Clear - Sunny - Clear - Sunny - Sunny

Fine07(PM): Clear - Sunny - Clear - Sunny - Sunny - Clear - Sunny - Clear - Clear - Clear - Sunny - Clear

Rain06(AM) :Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain- Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain

Rain06(PM): Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain- Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain

Rain07(PM): Rain- Rain - Rain - Rain - Rain - Rain Clouds - Cloudy - Cloudy - Rain Clouds - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain

Rain07(PM): Rain - Rain Heavy - Rain Heavy - Rain - Heavy Rain - Rain - Heavy Rain - Heavy Rain - Rain - Cloudy - Rain Clouds

Rain06 and Rain07 are basically just keywords for the patterns of the types of weather you may receive on any given day on any given hour. Nintendo is tweaking the weather and even adding to it. The data mine findings suggest although these new weather patterns exist in the game's code, they're not actually in use yet which most of the time is a big red flag that Nintendo has put them in because they're working towards something that could materialize and use them in a future release. 

ACNH Weather Update Speculation 2021

From this point forward we're talking pure speculation about the Animal Crossing weather update. The most obvious thing this could suggest is that Nintendo is balancing out the weather patterns to give islands that experience less of one type a greater chance to see it. For example, if it rarely rains on your island, maybe this is Nintendo's way of correcting that. 

What Might Back To Animal Crossing New Horizons

In a future update, you could see more rainy days, however, there is something else that could be hinting at when we think of rain anyone who's played previous Animal Crossing games will probably think gyroids. This is because since the original whenever it rained, gyroids could be found in dig spots like fossils the very next day. According to data mines, Nintendo is actively working on cafe mechanics which hint at Brewster of course. Now we discover they're also adjusting weather patterns and adding more rain types. What is Brewster most commonly associated with? Gyroids!  It seems this might be Nintendo preparing to add some kind of gyroid mechanic that would make use of more rainy days or more regular rainy days.
