Obsidian Weathers and Seasons is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition, created by Dr Mega Arindel.
Description (in author’s own words):
Sharp, ominous, and atmospheric. Obsidian Weathers and Seasons accentuates proximal detail while obscuring distant landscapes in mysterious rolling fogs and atmospheric scattering. Obsidian is a collaborative work; a hybridization of artistic styles that glorifies Skyrim for her beauty while preserving her dated modesty.

Compatibility
____________________________
Compatible with everything except weather mods
Not compatible with mods that make nights darker unless they're made specifically for Obsidian Weathers (these are fundamentally weather mods)
Not compatible with storm mods without a patch (these are weather mods)
Uses only vanilla weather ID's ensuring full compatibility with mods like Frostfall, Wet and Cold, Wonders of Weather, and Beyond Skyrim
Seasonal weathers require modification to region records and thus requires a patch for audio overhauls that add new region sounds
Compatible with all interior lighting overhauls (ie, ELE, RS, ELFX, RLO). Minor adjustments made to torches and magelight to balance darker nights.
