Weather Sandbox Guide
Step-by-step Weather Sandbox tutorials for creating storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and clean weather boundaries, from first launch to advanced cloud physics.
What is the Weather Sandbox Guide?
These guides walk through the sandbox one goal at a time: launching your first simulation, learning every control, then combining wind, moisture, and temperature to build specific weather like supercells, tornadoes, and clean cold-front boundaries.
Why follow these guides?
Build Any Storm on Demand
Follow exact parameter routes for tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms instead of guessing at settings.
Master the Controls Fast
Learn what every slider and menu does so you can shape the simulation with confidence.
Understand Cloud Physics
See how temperature, humidity, and wind interact, so every experiment teaches you real meteorology.
