There's an interaction between the real weather fetch code and the 3D cloud that
I'm still working out. I think the root problem is that the 3D clouds are
bolted onto
the side of the 2D ones, and don't always get updated in sync.

That's bad. What happens if you disable the 3D clouds after this point?

That's one of the bugs. The 3D layer is repeated in a 3x3 grid, and there is
code to designed to handle when you move out of the middle layer, shifting
the grid across.
