Live Weather is no longer immersive!

If you have experienced that and have been comfortable with it, then I am guessing you had a long career as a drummer in a rock band.  LOL!

Haha. Well, I have tinnitus. Both a constant high pitch noise and some high pitched spikes. So I'm used to weird sounds. 

It still makes me roll my eyes though, whenever random lightning and thunder happens in nearly clear skies in the sim. It just doesn't bug me much.

With these two images you can see the current weather situation of the northern Alps.

The visualisation in the sim is 100%. I can see very clearly the border of bad weather and sunshine.

QNH and temps do also match

Weather in the sim is based off forecast and not observed weather.

I don't disagree with OP's opinion that the weather transitions are too rough, but I was observing that before the patches. One of the first flights I did, I took off in minimums or slightly below (hey, it's not like I'll die if I crash 😉 ). Flew for about a minute inside a ping pong ball and all of a sudden it was clear. Not a cloud in the sky. The weather has needed a "cross fade" function from the get go.

I find this as an acceptable alternative until it is fixed.  It allows you to control polling frequency, transition frequency.  I think it's brilliant.

You can enable that in the .js file.  The author does note that it can cause some frame rate issues, but you can kind of mitigate that by having the METAR updates occur every 15 minutes instead of the default 3 minutes.  You can probably tweak that for an adequate compromise.
