Weather Color
The weather has a color. Temperature determines the hue — cold weather pushes toward blue, hot weather toward orange and red. Cloud cover determines saturation — clear skies produce vivid colors, overcast skies produce muted ones. Precipitation determines lightness — dry weather is bright, rain darkens everything.

How the translation works
Temperature → Hue: The full temperature range from −20°C to 45°C maps across the color spectrum from deep blue (cold) through cyan, green, yellow, and orange to deep red (hot). 0°C sits at cyan-blue; 20°C (comfortable room temperature) sits at a warm yellow-green; 35°C+ moves into deep orange and red.
Cloud cover → Saturation: A completely clear sky produces the most saturated version of the temperature color. As clouds increase, saturation decreases. A fully overcast sky produces a near-grey version of the base color — the same way a grey sky desaturates the visible landscape.
Precipitation → Lightness: No rain produces a bright, light color. Rain darkens the result — both physically (rain reduces visible light) and metaphorically. Heavy rain produces dark, muted tones.
