*Command · Environment, Broken Commands · Arma 3 v0.50*

> [!WARNING]
> This command is listed as broken on the wiki.

## Description

Sets simul cloud cover. This command does not affect overcast value.

This command was not implemented up until Arma 3 v2.18

## Syntax

```sqf
simulSetHumidity humidity
```

**Parameters:**

- `humidity`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - 0 (min): clear sky, 1 (max): heavy cloud cover

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
simulSetHumidity 1;
```

### Example 2

When combined with [setOvercast](../commands/setOvercast.md) 1 this command will also start random strength rain.

```sqf
skipTime -24;
86400 setOvercast 1;
skipTime 24;
simulSetHumidity 1;
```

Creates rainy looking weather, followed by thunder in about 10 seconds and rain in about 20.

setOvercast 1 and simulSetHumidity 0, can cause thunderstorm with lightning on a clear sky.

You can also setOvercast 0 to have a cloudless sky, but use SetHumidity to bring the clouds back
