think this might be a duplicate of another bug. But I agree. Rain does seem way to frequent now.

I can't find any other bug like this, so I don't think it's a duplicate.

I've noticed this, too. It's been raining a LOT more often in 1.7.2. I think the entire weather cycle has been sped up. I did /weather clear 1000000 in one of my worlds, which is supposed to keep it from raining for a million seconds, or about 12 (real-life) days of gameplay. The next (real-life) day I played that world, it rained again! That was definitely NOT 12 days of gameplay.

Same here. There's more rain than sun. It rains too frequently & it goes on too long.

/weather clear 1000000 only keeps it sunny for a few minutes.

May i ask how this is resolved?

still happening in 14w05a, 14w05b,14w06a & 14w06b.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.6 / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

It is a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.9, I don't know what about the other versions. But it's raining that often in 1.7.9 too.

I can confirm this, my husband and I play singleplayer worlds and a LAN world together, so far all worlds have experienced this problem. We've also played 14w28b and the problem is still present.

Adam Lienau 2014-08-20T13:51:57Z

I play on two servers and it seems to rain everyday on each of them. I don't want to disable the rain because I like the mechanic as a whole. But we spend more time in rain than we do it sun, it's annoying. Not sure if that is a bug or an intended feature.

Kinetic Kimo 2014-09-05T01:18:24Z

This issue is still present in 1.8. My husband and I are playing on a lan world, and for the first half hour, it rained occasionally and seemed to be fixed. After that, it began raining again about every 5 minutes, and has persisted like this for over an hour, just like it did in the other affected versions.

The sound of the rain drives us nuts after a while, so we've really been hoping to see this issue fixed...perhaps another solution might be to make a command to turn off weather effects altogether?

Sunshine for the next (real life) 10 days: /weather clear 864000

BoxFigs 2014-09-06T19:05:08Z

/weather clear 1000000 is supposed to keep it from raining for even longer than that (12 days), and yet it rains again less than a real-life hour later!

kumasasa 2015-11-20T22:44:06Z

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w47c or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Kevin Curtis 2015-11-24T00:45:50Z

there was a raining problem still in 1.8.8, but in snapshot 15w47c I haven't been experiencing any abnormal raining patterns, so its perfectly fine for me weather wise 🙂

kumasasa 2015-11-24T06:48:39Z

Fixed in some 1.9 snapshot.

/toggledownfall does not reset any timer. It switches to rain when it's clear and vice versa.
To stop the rain and reset the timers either sleep in a bed or use /weather clear

Bren Rado 2016-04-22T20:55:44Z

I used /weather clear and it is still raining very often:

That is 9 minutes apart, surely the timer is going too fast.

kumasasa 2016-04-24T10:24:00Z

Can you recreate that in a new world ?

seema 2017-03-17T17:33:41Z
