We should also look into changing the lighting condition according to 
different types of weather.  Perhaps we can check the position of the active 
camera, and then do the followings:

- Make ambient intensity proportional to the density of clouds.
- Make diffuse intensity inversely proportional to the density of clouds.
- Make light intensity inversely proportional to the density of clouds.
