(Detailed) Converting for Different Weather using KT

There are 12 different weather values, shown below, ranging from Bone Dry to Storm. Therefore to convert a set-up from Bone Dry to Storm we must go through eleven weather changes.

Bone Dry = 0%-8.33% Wet Factor
Greasy = 8.33%-16.66% Wet Factor
Moist= 16.66%-24.99% Wet Factor
Drizzle = 24.99%-33.32% Wet Factor
Light Rain = 33.32%-41.65% Wet Factor
Rain = 41.65%-49.98% Wet Factor
Wet and Slippery = 49.98%-58.31% Wet Factor
Steady Rain = 58.31%-66.64% Wet Factor
Heavy Rain = 66.64%-74.97% Wet Factor
Treacherous Rain = 74.97%-83.30% Wet Factor
Monsoon = 83.30%-91.63% Wet Factor
Storm = 91.63%-100% Wet Factor

Now you have these ranges of what percentage of wet factor shows which weather condition, how do you put that into your Wet/Dry setup tool? Well, first you have to find the midpoints of the ranges and then round them to the nearest whole number as shown below:

Bone Dry = 4% Wet Factor
Greasy = 12% Wet Factor
Moist= 21% Wet Factor
Drizzle = 29% Wet Factor
Light Rain = 37% Wet Factor
Rain = 46% Wet Factor
Wet and Slippery = 54% Wet Factor
Steady Rain = 62% Wet Factor
Heavy Rain = 71% Wet Factor
Treacherous Rain = 79% Wet Factor
Monsoon = 87% Wet Factor
Storm = 96% Wet Factor

Now that you have these values you can put them into your Wet/Dry setup tool right? No. The Wet/Dry setup tool uses values from 0-50 instead of 0-100 so you will have have to half the value and then round it to the nearest whole number if neccesary. So the values you will be putting into your tool will be:

Bone Dry = 2
Greasy = 6
Moist= 11
Drizzle = 15
Light Rain = 19
Rain = 23
Wet and Slippery = 27
Steady Rain = 31
Heavy Rain = 36
Treacherous Rain = 40
Monsoon = 44
Storm = 48

NOTE: If both sessions are the same weather condition, you do not need to make it wetter/drier as you do not know whether you need to be making it wetter or drier.


Example -

If Practice was Greasy and Qualifying was Heavy Rain, you would find the difference between the two percentages:
71 - 12 = 59

Then you would divide 59 by 2:
59 / 2 = 29.5 <----- Rounded to the nearest whole number is 30

So you would put 30 into the Wet/Dry setup tool.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are making the setup drier, you would add a minus to the number that you put into the Wet/Dry setup tool. For example, making a setup 8% drier would mean you put -4 into your tool whereas making it 8% wetter would mean you put 4 into your tool.
