The weather will affect many things, it will affect farming (as mentioned below in haunter's message) for example, like.. farming will go faster if it rains but if it rained for 3 days it'll go "wrong" (drowned plants or so hehe, I just gotta work that out). Just wait and see.

On a related note: The Day/Night GUI is HUGE!

P.S. Why is it so bright outside at 1:14AM?

"Aut" stands for Autumn, so it are seasons, yes. A season has about 47 days.
In one real year for us (real people) there will be two years on Bomy Island.
From day 0 - 46 it's Spring, from day 46 - 91 its Summer, from day 91 - 137 its Autumn and last but not least, Winter from day 137 - 182.

Oh and here is a snap of how the gui normally is (you can also hide it as in: toggle the quick inventory with the daynight gui).



Like it better now?
Oh and it's so bright outside because I didn't enable the daynight effects yet (am making them).

Thanks, and yes I indeed had in mind to show important things like paying rent. I've also got in mind to make it like.. the players can schedule their own seasons (what they wanna do on what day, or just leave "notes").
