No specific import is needed for this component.

The Weather component allows easy selection and configuration of weather effects in a Scene component. The available weather types are: sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, and foggy.

To set the weather programmatically, apply the desired weather type to the environment property of the Scene component.

// Access the Scene component.
const viewElement = document.querySelector("arcgis-scene");
await viewElement.viewOnReady();
// Specify the weather settings.
viewElement.environment.weather = {
   type: "rainy", // autocasts as new RainyWeather({ cloudCover: 0.7, precipitation: 0.3 })
   cloudCover: 0.7,
   precipitation: 0.3
};

To determine if the weather visualization is available, check the boolean value of viewElement.environment.weatherAvailable. The weather is only available:

  • in global viewing mode,
  • when atmosphereEnabled property on environment is true,
  • at lower altitudes, near the ground.

Known limitations

Weather is only supported in a 3D Scene component.

autoDestroyDisabled

Property
autoDestroyDisabled: boolean

If true, the component will not be destroyed automatically when it is disconnected from the document. This is useful when you want to move the component to a different place on the page, or temporarily hide it. If this is set, make sure to call the destroy method when you are done to prevent memory leaks.

Attribute
auto-destroy-disabled
Default value
false

headingLevel

Property
headingLevel: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Indicates the heading level to use for the title of the component. By default, this message is rendered as a level 4 heading (e.g. <h4>Time range</h4>). Depending on the component's placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics. This is important for meeting accessibility standards.
