The storm has always played a vital role in Fortnite as a game mechanic. As the match progresses in this battle royale, the Storm Circle gradually shrinks, forcing the remaining players to come closer and compete for the ultimate victory.
In previous seasons, players had various ways to gain insight into upcoming Storm Circles, giving them a valuable advantage. However, Chapter 4 Season 4 introduced Forecast Towers to Fortnite. These towers provide a unique opportunity for players to discover future Storm Circles before they are disclosed to other players on the island. This guide aims to provide gamers with all the necessary information about Fortnite's Forecast Towers.
Forecast Tower Locations
Just like the Combat Cache and Loot Island, Forecast Towers will not be instantly accessible. Players have the opportunity to scavenge for all the necessary supplies to survive on the Fortnite island before needing to rush towards the Forecast Tower. It will only appear approximately a minute prior to the second Storm Circle closing in.
Forecast Towers will be visible on the map for every player when they become accessible. While their location varies in each game, they are generally found in four specific areas. Players can anticipate finding Forecast Towers in Fortnite specifically in the green grassy region situated south of Rumble Ruins and southeast of Shattered Slabs.

How to Access Forecast Towers
In order to gain access to the valuable data stored in the Forecast Tower, players are required to obtain the access key. This necessitates defeating a pair of henchmen as well as The Dealer, the formidable boss tasked with protecting the tower. The tower's whereabouts can be identified by the satellite dish marker, while the masked figure marker reveals the boss's location.
To overcome the challenge, gamers should prioritize eliminating the two Low Card guards due to their relatively low health. Once that task is completed, their attention can then be directed towards defeating the boss. Upon successful defeat, The Dealer will relinquish a highly coveted Legendary Twin Mag Assault Rifle alongside a crucial Forecast Tower Access Card. The access card must be promptly brought to the Forecast Tower to ensure its securement, granting gamers access to invaluable forecast data. This data will empower them with the ability to anticipate future Storm Circles until the culmination of the match.
Fortnite is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
