In each city, you'll need to determine the locations of the skyscrapers as well as the storms. You know that:
Additionally, some scouts right outside the cities have given us helpful reports. Every report contains two parts:
Some cities will have twists which bend the above rules, but if a rule isn't explicitly called out as different, you can assume that it still applies.
Example puzzle and solution (with heights 1-4 and 4 storms, which are highlighted in green):

In this city, everypony really likes math, so clues give the sum of the heights of all visible skyscrapers.

In this city, everypony is a software engineer, so each clue number is off by exactly one. For example, a clue of 2 means that either 1 or 3 skyscrapers are visible, and a clue of 5 means that exactly 4 skyscrapers are visible (because 6 is impossible). The storm counts are still correct.

This city has a space shortage, so some cells are smaller than others, but other than that all rules still apply as normal.

This city has a space surplus, so in addition to skyscrapers of heights 1-5, each row and column has exactly one blank space. There are still 5 storms as usual, and they cannot be on blank spaces.

Everypony in this city loves letters, so the clue numbers 1-5 have been replaced by the letters A-E (not necessarily in that order).
