Mainframe City's climate.

This is a list of the not-so-natural disasters that occur in Mainframe city, and the things used to stop them.
Glitch: a blip in the Binary Brain's data lines, a warp between the very real digital world and the physical world.  Glitches are only stopped if the Brain sorts it out, or if contained by a firewall.
Virus: are malevolent being of electricity spawned by thunderbirds, glitches, or other similar occurrences.  Viruses are humanoid silver and blue-streaked skin that feed on the electricity in human brains to survive.  Viruses are destroyed by to much electricity, cannot move through firewalls and can easily be destroyed by antiviruses.   
Firewall: an electrical, specially charged material made from Steelglass, can block viruses and contain glitches.  Are usually seen in computer office buildings.
Antivirus: are  specially designed robots who are made to hunt viruses.  Antivirus programs are written by the Binary Brain, then downloaded into a super robot body.  Antiviruses' most common weapon against viruses are shock cords. 
Doppleganger: a burp in the Binary Brain's tracking and navigational feeds.
Rainbow rain: toxic rain from the various factories of Mainframe, usually rains every so often.  Red: radioactive, orange: sludge, yellow: illnesses, green: acidic, blue: basic, indigo: other illnesses, violet: toxins, gray/black: oil.   
Ghost fog: like rainbow rain, toxic fog that comes from the many factories, can be seen every evening, non-lethal, just makes you feel bad.
Thunderbirds: since Mainframe city has controlled weather, thanks to Fusion Inc.'s Storm Sats., thunderbirds are small, generally non-fatal electromagnetic bolts from the many cables and wires around Mainframe.
