Time and Weather

 are two systems that are part of the Midnight Club games' gameplay system. They are conditions used during many races in all games.

Prior to Midnight Club: Los Angeles
The time of day determines the brightness of the sky, in Midnight Club games, it is divided into dawn (daylight), dusk (sunset) and Midnight (nighttime).

Three options are available for the in-game weather, Clear, Fog and Rain. In Detroit, Snow replaces Rain, so if the player uses City Transport while in Detroit, or moves to Tokyo, it would rain in the other cities while it snows in Detroit.
