Examples
Here is an example of how to use fw.
Forces a clear-sky weather type to begin immediately.
Overview
Immediately changes the weather to a type identified by its form ID, transitioning right away rather than waiting for a natural shift. It is great for clearing a storm before a screenshot or summoning a clear sky. The weather may revert when you change regions; use sw for a longer-lasting set. Look up weather form IDs with the help command.
