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.
Time[]
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).
Weather[]
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition[]
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.
Rain/snow reduces the player vehicle's traction, making it harder to handle in those conditions.
The in-game weather randomly generates after the player wins a race, with the time of day being ordered as Midnight -> Dawn -> Dusk before being set to Midnight for several races before going back to Dawn.
