Linden Lab,

I was wondering if it is possible to disclose, or give some behind the scenes in any form, in the way wind in Second Life is calculated, in specific to the speed and direction. Is the current speed and direction directly related to the next updated speed or wind, is it completely random? How often is it updated? Any information on this and any other weather systems in Sl now or in the future would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Cid Jacobs

It's Cid Jacobs, the Theoretical Meteorologist! And I'll never forget those watermelon slices being blown away by the wind.

I'm asking about this...
