Climates of Tamriel is the most endorsed and downloaded weather and lighting overhaul for TES: Skyrim.
It replaces all of the vanilla game weather and lighting, and replaces it with its own unique, beautiful style. It adds hundreds of weather variations ranging from sunny, cloudy, overcast, stormy, snowy blizzards and foggy, and the sunrises and sunsets are second to none.
It also adds effects such as real sheet and fork lightning creating truly violent thunderstorms, and volumetric fog. It adds new thunder sounds as well as interior rain sounds which are adjustable via the in-game menu.
Climates of Tamriel also provides optional modules for darker nights, more atmospheric interiors, as well as darker dungeons.

Climates of Tamriel is not compatible with other mods that implement similar features.
Other rain/snow/fog mods might be compatible with or without patches to be put after COT.
(Check with those mod authors if its compatible its not up to COT to be compatible with them,
well unless I make a patch for some reason)

Why does this eat up my fps?
It shouldn't unless you have a really old rig at this point.
Is this safe to uninstall?
Yeah, just go in a house first and "fw 81a" save and then uninstall
before installing another weather/lighting mod
Why can't I see the rain?
There might be a mod conflict with another rain mod and I would uninstall that one first then install CoT and run "fw 1044831" to test rain in game.
If you don't have any other rain mods installed I would still redownload the current version of CoT and run "fw 1044831" first before commenting to make sure the file didn't get corrupt for some reason.
Ill be adding more here when getting more common questions.
