How does Pokémon Go determine weather?
Weather forecasts are complex with several factors. The game can only pick 1 for the boosted weather (eg. Partly Cloudy). The game shows multiple weather effects (and spawns) based on the forecast, which can mean wind swirls and rain show when “snow” is the boost.
What is Niantic with location data?
In order to do this, Niantic needs to locally derive AR geospatial data from your device camera. This geospatial data is then ingested by Niantic servers to allow you and other players to view and interact with the same virtual objects at the same time in a shared physical space.
Can I change the weather in Pokemon go?

Does Pokemon steal your information?
Pokémon GO collects a range of personal and sensitive information including geolocation data, contact information, first and last name, email address, telephone number, and postal address, as well as content users share or upload, such as photos (including any metadata included in your photos and content).
Is Niantic a good company?
The company is working on several inspiring projects that bring people together in the real world to explore, exercise, and make friends. I would also add that Niantic is a great place for working parents and new parents. The policies and support for parents are second to none.
