Weather Indicators

Hey folks,
Today I want to share a small QoL improvement mod with you that I made in a couple of hours today. This is something I suggested to Taleworlds ~3 years ago actually, but even the dev who replied in that thread doesn't work in Taleworlds anymore, so I have zero hope that they will add such thing to the game.
You probably had this experience as well, especially after the recent weather update in the game. You see some rain clouds on the campaign map but when you enter the battle, it's not raining because you are not in the rain "zone," which isn't obvious to players. Aside from the center of the rain clouds on the campaign map (which is also hard to detect because of the perspective), there is no clarity on what type of weather you will see on the battle scene. Will it be clear? Or if there is a blizzard, or if the rain is light rain or heavy rain? Or maybe it's just snowy? Anyway, you got the point. This mod is simply adding an indicator to the campaign map that shows the weather at that specific coordinate where you are standing.
It looks like this:
And full picture:
I have mapped all the weather events in the game, Clear, Light Rain, Heavy Rain, Snowy, Blizzard (and a bit of extras like fog, storm etc that doesn't exist in the game) - I think icons are quite clear but in case if you are unsure what icon means, you can just hover over them and get the information:
This is using the exact system that the game passes the weather information to scenes. So it is a 1-1 matching, but I have experienced in some scenes that it says it's heavy rain, but it's just muddy and nothing is raining etc. This issue existed in the old version of the game as well, and I believe Taleworlds hasn't fixed the issue still. Just to clarify, this is not a bug related to this mod because this mod literally changes just the UI. I also added a check for Ancient Calradia, so it doesn't cause the Ancient Calradia UI to look bad or anything like that, hopefully.
