A massive wall can be seen in the distance, possibly meaning that the station is near the edge of the Halo installation. From this, it can be inferred that weather-controlling pylons such as the ones on the map may line the borders of the installations oceans where they touch the sides of the ring.

Forerunner weather spires on a Halo array, as seen in on Halo: Reach multiplayer map Tempest.
A series of weather spires on a Halo ring.

Weather spires are a structure employed by the Forerunners as a component of their Halo megastructures. Weather spires form a vital part of the ring worlds' function, serving to regulate and influence the surface conditions on the rings.[1]

Description[edit]

Weather spires are situated near the outermost edges of the Halo ring, accompanied by a blue energy beam projecting into the sky.[2] Weather spires are able to control a given installation's weather, surface temperature and pressure—generating conditions near-indistinguishable from those on naturally-occurring planets.[1]

Trivia[edit]

A weather station forms the setting for the Halo: Reach multiplayer level Tempest.[3]
