Suggestion:
Add a dynamic "weather window" to the in-game screen. This would show the current weather conditions (sunny/clear, partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, drizzle/flurries, light rain/sleet, rain/snow, INDOOR GAME, ROOF CLOSED), the current temperature, and the wind speed and direction. The window would show these conditions changing throughout the game, assuming it's being played outdoors.

Reason:
Weather data is already being used. It would be immersive and strategically useful to see these conditions evolving throughout the game. (That is, watching the conditions go from sunny to cloudy to drizzle to rain, instead of having it suddenly begin to rain out of nowhere!)

Priority:
A personal pet feature, I have to label it as MEDIUM-LOW, but GOD I'd love to see this in the next version! (Like the In-Game Clock I mentioned above, it's already tracked by the game, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement.)
