Should be compatible with most things, except other weather mods. From my testing Strip Lights Region Fix works alongside this. All vanilla weathers were preserved in case they are utilized by other mods or need to be forced in console.
Simply drag and drop the contents of the mod into your data folder, and enable with the mod manager of your choice. Alternatively, download using a mod manager such as MO2 or Vortex.
