I've seen this happen in rainy games—FPS drop noticeably. Besides, they still work well otherwise, but it's not great when it rains. Why? Suck...

what about shadows, motion blur, foggy filters, etc? all unnecessary resource-consuming effects

I saw the title and wondered about your unusual weather experiences.

That's the kind of thing happening inside the game, my friend. Not the weather outside, right?

Rain uses up CPU cycles and VRAM. All what appears on the screen happens due to tasks the GPU and CPU perform, so pushing them to handle more at once will make them slower.

Additional alpha textures, reflections, and fog effects could increase performance demands, potentially lowering FPS if not optimized.

Thank you Macintosh and Karath, for that clear explanation. It makes sense now I understand.

If a guru who has 48k posts claims rain sux ballz in games, then he might be right. I've seen this with some AAA titles too—rain still gives me triple-digit frame rates, though it's still a bit*big time.
