Island weather seed tool [Datamining]

[Sharksheep]

i got my code too! it’s 1801770430, and i’m pleases to find out that i have two heavy meteor showers this friday and saturday! i’m really happy with what i got, i just put in major events that i screenshotted (meteor showers, thunderstorms) and filled it in with the autopredicter that i’m pretty sure is a new edition to meteonook. it’s really helpful, i’m glad that i didn’t give up when it told me my input was incorrect.


edit:

question, what do the leaves mean next to your weather?

example- 5 AM: 2 🌧 Rain

I think the leaf just means wind

I FINALLY FOUND MINE! 1292804601!! Gosh, that took forever! But I'm super happy! I don't have any heavy showers this month, but that's quite alright. I've got one next month!

I just found this tool and I'm super determined to find my seed!
Quick question, if I'm recording my weather at 12am and 1am on June 15th, would that be considered on June 15th or June 14th?
It would be on June 14th right since Animal Crossing time is at 5am?

you're correct, it would be considered june 14th since the new day technically begins at 5am in animal crossing not midnight!

Must have done mine wrong, as no seed for my data exists. Gonna just start from scratch! But this is super cool

Try logging your weather at the start of the hour, since it can get misleading as the hour goes on.

I got my seed! Apparently I'm due a light meteor shower tomorrow (after having missed a few this month already... oops...), so I'll definitely be checking that out to make sure I input everything correctly!

 

[pup]

i'm obsessed with this! what a great tool.

all my loved ones who play ac don't go as hard as me—i shared this with them and they didn't care at all ahaha. buuuuut if they don't use it that means i get to farm star fragments for them as gifts and host meteor shower parties hehe.

 

[Rubombee]

I think I'm in the few who prefer the surprise, cause last time I tried to be super-efficient in this game (by using market websites) it got too overwhelming. This is super cool though!
…I'm almost tempted to try it out just so I can know what my own little string of numbers is :'D
But I'm not sure if that would make me want to check my weather… I'll have to think about it!

 

[tajikey]

I ended up finding my seed: 2082878621

July will bring 12 light showers, 1 heavy shower, and 3 rainbows (one being of the double variety). It's also supposed to rain all day on my birthday. Stupid rain ruins everything!

 

[Chiana]

This is cool. I like weather surprises, but would hate to miss a meteor shower. I have one question about numbers such as "1 Clear/Fine," or "4 Sunny" after the time mean?

Where I come from, rain is a good thing.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

I narrowed down to a single seed with ease. Since I have not experienced any meteor showers, I used a simple method of elimination by looking at some of my 600+ screenshots and determining if the weather on specif day at a specific time is

A. Unknown (rain/snow)
or
B. Unknown (no rain/snow)

Since according to Ninji, rain will last the whole hour, it makes selecting option A or B super easy with no margin of error*. I didn't even need to fill in very many days either. I recommend everyone who is finding this daunting to use the same method

After narrowing it down to 1 seed, I tried matching it against past screenshots, and it all seemed good except for one screenshot in particular. It was of a non rainy hour, but the weather seed tool claims it should have been raining at the time the screenshot was taken.

*I created a new character on this specific day, so I had to double check, and sure enough, creating a new character literally suspends the rain and messes up the weather for that day. So there's a TIL for you.

One disappointing thing most of all is the tool does not show which days you will get lightning. I've only experienced lightning once since March 20th. I would love to know when I can experience it again.

Nevermind, I didn't read it right. Also, I thought I found my seed, but I didn't...

Edit: Now I did: 602454323. Due for a heavy meteor shower tomorrow!

 

[Meira]

I got lucky that today is a heavy meteor shower night so I got my seed pretty quickly. I started tracking on Sunday and narrowed it down to seed 1972416141!! Data is so beautiful

Spoiler

 

[Dreamcloud]

I looked through my screenshots, found a couple of shots of shooting stars and some shots where villagers happened to be in rain gear. Found my seed! Checked it against a double rainbow I had back in April (that I hadn't entered) and it matched. Very clever! Not a great seed for the rest of this year. No heavy showers until August then November and December. At least I can see I haven't missed any of the 5 light showers I have this month. They start from tomorrow. Since I've got so few showers I'm glad to know when they are so I don't miss them.

Spoiler: My Seed for 2020

I'm currently in the middle of tracking my weather to find my island seed. How many days did it take you guys roughly for it to determine yours? I just track enough for it to determine my daily weather pattern and haven't had a meteor shower since I started tracking.

edit: I ended up going back to my last known meteor shower day and found it that way. Update on post #68

Your best option is to look at screenshots saved to your device, and input as many of those as possible. If you see rain, then find the date, enter the start of the hour, and put "Unsure (rain/snow)." I didn't have much luck when I tracked Clear/Sunny/Cloudy, but when I did either Unsure (rain/snow) or Unsure (no rain/snow) it came up quickly. I also knew a few times Celeste visited because I had sent a text to a friend to invite him over.

Edit: my seed was confirmed. I was supposed to have a fine meteor shower this evening, with precise times for the shooting stars, and wouldn't you know, it was dead on!

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Been working on tracking my weather since this thread was posted, I've finally got it narrowed down to 4 seeds. Pretty exciting!!

 

[~Kilza~]

It took me 3 days but I managed to figure out my seed. I ended up using screenshots I took during the one meteor shower I had, along with some times I wrote down having Celeste, then afterwards just kept tracking the weather. I got lucky and had a light shower on Monday where I was able to note down the exact times the stars came, which allowed me to find out my exact seed. Looks like it's accurate, since it rained pretty much all of yesterday (including a thunderstorm!), and today I ended up having a meteor shower, which I was able to know ahead of time thanks to the tool.

 

[DeltaLoraine]

Man, if this is true, that means all those people who haven't had a meteor shower yet (Including me) might never get one because it's just in the code that way. That SUCKS majorly haha.
