Weather events in Catch And Tame change what is worth doing during a server window. Some weather raises luck or makes animals easier to catch, some applies pet mutations, and some opens short spawn windows for rare pets.
The strongest weather depends on your goal. Aurora Borealis is best for broad luck, Bloodmoon and Cosmic Shower are strong mutation windows, Sandstorm and Blizzard matter for exclusive spawns, and Admin Cloud is something to use when it appears rather than something to plan around.

Default and luck weather
Luck weather is strongest when you already know what you want to roll, hatch, or catch. Use quieter windows to prepare inventory and routes before a higher-value boost appears.

Weather is a timing system, so preparation matters more than checking the sky after the bonus starts. Keep strong pets in your pen before mutation weather, save eggs and serious catch attempts for major luck boosts, and move to the right island before spawn-focused weather runs out.
Totems make some weather easier to target, but they should be saved for windows with a clear payoff. Rainy is useful for early catching, Aurora Borealis is the broadest luck option, and Cosmic Shower or Sandstorm are better when you are chasing a specific spawn or mutation route.
Event-linked weather works best with a plan. Use Bloodmoon for Bloodbound and Boss Hydra attempts, Gravebound for Skeletal or Fractured progress, and Valentine's weather when duplicate pets or Chocolate Hearts are already ready.
