Threats

  • Lightning strikes every few seconds at peak intensity
  • Strong Winds slow/speed movement and uproot plants
  • Winds extinguish standard campfires
  • Large Waves progressively replace normal waves (boat damage)
  • Hail and constant Rain cause wetness and sanity drain
  • Sealnado may spawn near end of season (seasonal boss)

Preparations

  • Craft Snakeskin Hat and Snakeskin Jacket (waterproofing)
  • Build Lightning Rods on all island bases
  • Use Chiminea or Obsidian Fire Pit (wind-resistant alternatives)
  • Stockpile food - fishing is dangerous in storms
  • Prepare weapons and armor for Sealnado
  • Store valuables safely - winds can blow items around

Survival Tips

  • Chimineas and Obsidian Fire Pits resist wind - essential this season
  • WX-78 benefits massively from constant lightning charges
  • Collect Hail and store in Ice Boxes for later use
  • Avoid sailing during peak storms - Big Waves destroy boats fast
  • Days are relatively short with equal daylight/dusk/night
  • Sealnado has no guaranteed spawn - prepare but do not expect it

Key Events

  • Day 21: Hurricane Season begins
  • Day ~28: Storms intensify, Big Waves appear
  • Day ~33: Sealnado may spawn
  • Day 35: Monsoon Season begins
