Weather in Hattrick
Economic impact and performance special events.
Weather is a factor determined by your team's region and has a direct impact on both economic management and sporting performance.
1. Impact on Attendance and Stadium
Weather directly influences the number of spectators visiting your arena:
- Global attendance drops during bad weather or rain.
- Fans prefer covered seats or VIP boxes if it rains.
- Strategy: If your stadium has a good proportion of covered seats, your total income can remain stable regardless of the weather.
Regional Forecast
You can check today's weather and tomorrow's forecast on the region page. If the sun shines today, it is more likely to shine tomorrow as well.
2. Impact on Performance (Weather SE)
Weather can trigger a Special Event (SE) that modifies skills by 5% (bonus or penalty) for the remainder of the match.

Sun: Gain scoring and playmaking.
Rain: Suffer and lose performance.
