The Green rain <\/strong>weather event is one of the new additions to Stardew Valley<\/strong><\/u><\/a>'s 1.6 update. As the name suggests, it's a rare type of weather that literally brings a green glow to the town, along with several rare materials to gather. It's a great time to stock up on moss and the far more common fiber if you happen to be low on those particular resources.<\/p>\n

So how can you take advantage of the new weather phenomenon? In this guide, I'll explain when the green rain can happen, what to look out for when it does, and how to tell ahead of time that it's coming so you can prepare for it.<\/p>\n

Green rain can only happen during the summer<\/strong>, and even then, it's a very rare occurrence. There is no real warning that it's coming, except the weather report on your TV<\/strong> will tell you that there's “some kind of anomalous reading” the day before. When that happens, it's your cue to prepare plenty of inventory space and clear your schedule for the following day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you step outside on the morning of the green rain, you'll notice everything looks noticeably greener and there are weeds everywhere. As well as regular weeds, you'll also find slightly bigger and tougher varieties have sprouted up too. These generally take an extra whack of the scythe and will mostly yield moss, though other drops are possible too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
