Instead of having a six month repeating loop maybe you could implement a
loop which would repeat itself every few thousand mud years.  You would want
to set up a algorithm to generate the needed weather at runtime instead of
being set at compile time...  Maybe you could even have the seasons drift so
that in 40,000 mud years March 5 is the warmest day of the year.

Have 336.4975 days per mudyear....
