Are there hurricanes in GTA 6? The weather system
Short answer: Yes. Rockstar told Game Informer that GTA 6 has tropical storms and hurricanes. The weather is dynamic: clouds move across Leonida, rain is local (you can stand in sunshine and watch rain fall in the distance), puddles and wet streets stay after a storm, and rainbows can appear. Rockstar hasn’t said how often hurricanes happen or how they affect missions.
