GamersReports have submitted a new two page interview recently with Pete Hines. It's pretty short and generic, but he does at least go into a teensy bit more detail about weather systems:

QUOTE("Pete Hines")

As you travel around you’ll see the weather change from one type to another. It’ll be partly cloudy, then some clouds will roll in, then it’s drizzling, then you’re caught in a heavy thunderstorm. We use a dual-layered system in Oblivion to more realistically transition between different types of weather and to better model the way clouds move in the sky.

I don't think that whole dual-layered bit has been discussed before. Sounds like weather transition will be quite realistic.

Credit to Kaleem of the forums again for spotting this before us.

Nice information again. They really give more info, and more often. Hurray

Wow, that's nice and fancy. Though it's bound to be a Killer for those slower comps, much like the rest of the game.

Well done for the find switch, I must admit, it was right under my nose...and I missed it (I read Kaleem's post for christs sake! how blind can you GET!)

This is going to be one of those games where a thunder clap will scare the hell out of you, you might not notice the build up of dark clouds when all of sudden booom! Its going to be even scarier when a minotaur attacks you in the middle of a storm
