It is random and it depends on where your sims live because Willow Creek gets more thunderstorms then the other worlds.

That's great, but it's not random no matter how many people who don't understand coding, programming, and math says this, it will still not ever be true. That's not how programming works and computers cannot generate true randomness in their selection. It's not physically possible. Random number generators that are so popular aren't actually random either. They can't generate true randomness and everything they do is based on mathematical equations. This is true for every single game, program, and computer coding in the entire world. This needs to be adjusted because it's not playable when you have 28 straight days of rain. No matter how many people might like that, many of us don't. It's okay to not like it and wish it to be tuned differently.

This "I have it 14 days and during summer it rained everyday except a couple of days it was hot and nice." really shouldn't happen especially in worlds like Willow Creek where it's based on southern area of the US. While they get rain, they don't typically get that many days of rain. 3 out of 14 days being sunny isn't normal for that part of the world. That's 79% chance of rain for the entire summer season. That's crazy out of the ordinary for that area of the world. If you put it into real life terms you'd be looking at most of June, July, and August being just rain. I live in a state that's literally considered one of the rainiest in the entire country even *we* don't get that much rain. So it's not even realistic at all. You have to understand proportions are going to be off because sims don't have 3-4 months per season like we do in real life, but if you turn it into a percentage that's where it really shows how unrealistic and odd it is.

Here's how randomness works:
Unless you have a sample pool over SEVERAL THOUSAND, a true proof that something ISN'T random is if it's evenly distributed.
Seriously, if you COULDN'T get 28 days straight of rain, it wouldn't be random.
The problem is that our brains don't accept that but tries to find patterns. It's an instinct. That's why we think that hitting double sixes (or natural twenties, or whatever dice you are rolling) 5 times in a row "isn't random", when it truly proves exactly that.

Or another example: If you play 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 at the lottery, you actually have exactly the same chance of winning as if you had submitted a random series of numbers. It's just that our brains assumes, wrongly, that it somehow would be more unlikely, because our brains do not like randomness.

This means, that before you have played Willow Creek, In Summer, For about 2000 Sim Days, written down and then analyzed the weather data, you have no way of telling if the game is faulty, or rigged, or...

Again, the fact that you got 22 days of rain in a row very strongly indicates that it is RANDOM. Not the other way around.
