Here are the steps that you have to follow to enable Ark Survival Ascended weather console commands in single-player mode:

  • Select Settings from the Main Menu.
  • Go to the Advanced tab and turn on Console Access.
  • Start the game.

You can bring up the console commands box by using the following controls:

  • PC: ~ (tilde)
  • Xbox: RB + LB + X + Y
  • PlayStation: R1 + L1 + Square + Triangle

If you're playing on a private server, you'll need to grant yourself cheat powers by typing "EnableCheats <admin password>" or "Cheat EnableCheats <admin password>" before accessing console commands. Note that you must be the server host to access these commands on a private server.

When using cheats on a private server, always remember to prefix each command with "admincheat" or "cheat." For example, to enable heatwave on The Island map in a private server, use "cheat ce heatwave" or "admincheat ce heatwave."

You can use the following weather console commands for single-player mode in the Scorched Earth map:

  • ce start_superheat
  • ce stop_superheat
  • ce start_sandstorm
  • ce stop_sandstorm
  • ce start_electricalstorm
  • ce stop_electricalstorm
  • ce start_rain
  • ce stop_rain

The functionality of these console commands is largely self-explanatory based on their names. For instance, "ce start_superheat" initiates a Heatwave, while "ce start_sandstorm" triggers a Sandstorm.

In general, you'll aim to halt these weather events since they pose a significant danger and can swiftly eliminate your character without adequate gear and preparation.

However, in certain scenarios, such as when taming a Phoenix in Scorched Earth, you might intentionally initiate a Heatwave since this creature can only be tamed during this particular weather event.
