Usually the weather occurs randomly across all of the servers, but there are times when the Grow a Garden admins likes to have a bit of fun and surprise players with admin weather events.

Down below we've taken a look at all of the weather events in Grow a Garden, from your regular Windy breeze to the special Black Hole event.

All admin weather in Grow a Garden

Admin weather can only be spawned by the Grow a Garden admin (unsurprisingly). Referred to as 'admin abuse' by the player community, admin weather events usually occur in the hour leading up to a game update and, occasionally, shortly afterwards. This means they typically occur between 2pm to 3pm UK time (BST) on a Saturday, but it's a good idea to check The Garden Game community page to see when the next update arrives.

Just keep in mind that which, when and how many admin weather events run is all down to the admins. You may get a small hint before they arrive though!
