    Weather in Rookrost, Stoink, Radigast areas

    So what can be found on climate in the LGG (i have chosen the LGG as it is the latest product and also the one with most info on the subject, I think) :
    "The northeast and the north-central regions ::of the Flanaess:: tend to be considerably colder, for the seas of those regions cause winter to linger about twice as long as it does in the heartland of the Flanaess", LGG page 3
    "Prevailing winds are from the north-east in the winter and autumn, and the east and south-east at other times", LGG page 3
    "... cool to temperate climate", LGG page 4 (norhtern reaches)
    "Weather conditions here are generally temperate, though winters tend toward harsh storms and even blizzards throughout late Sunsebb and early Fireseek. In contrast, high summer often bring drought, threatening grain crops and cattle production", LGG page 25

    From above info, I will say that climate around Rookroost is of wet continental type with cold summer (something like Mineapolis, maybe?, or Moscow), for Stoink climate should be of wet continental type with hot summer (something like Washington, and Radigast climate will be a coastal type (something like London).

    ROOKROOST average temp. and precipitation.
    Fireseek // 16°F // 1.18 in // bitter winter
    Readying // 10°F // 0.99 in // bitter winter
    Coldeven // 23°F // 1.38 in // late winter
    Planting // 36°F // 1.58 in // spring
    Flocktime // 50°F // 1.78 in // spring
    Wealsun // 59°F // 2.17 in // summer
    Reaping // 68°F // 2.36 in // summer
    Goodmonth // 62°F // 2.29 in // summer
    Harvester // 54°F // 1.97 in // autumn
    Patchwall // 42°F // 1.90 in // autumn
    Ready'reat // 32°F // 1.58 in // early winter
    Sunsebb // 22°F // 1.58 in // early winter

    Bitter winter weather table
    roll 1d12 for sky, temperature and precipitation
    Sky : clear 1-4 / pc 5-8 / over 9-12
    Temp. : cold 1-12 freezing
    Prec. : no 1-5 / yes 6-12

    Bitter winter precipitation
    1d12 // Cold
    1 // Sleetstorm
    2 // Sleetstorm
    3 // Ligth snow
    4 // Ligth snow
    5 // Ligth snow
    6 // Ligth snow
    7 // Heavy snow
    8 // Heavy snow
    9 // Heavy snow
    10 // Heavy snow
    11 // Blizzard
    12 // Blizzard

    For explanation of above tables see tAB pg 48-53
    for blizzard see DMG 3ed pg 88

    Late winter - early spring - early winter weather table
    (Coldeven - Planting - Ready'reat - Sunsebb)
    See winter early spring weather table of tAB pg 51

    Spring weather table
    (Flocktime)
    See mid-spring weather table of tAB pg 51

    Summer weather table
    See low summer weather table of tAB pg 52

    Autumn weather table
    See late fall weather table of tAB pg 52



    STOINK average temp. and precipitation.
    Fireseek // 27°F // 3.15 in // winter
    Readying // 36°F // 2.96 in // spring
    Coldeven // 45°F // 4.14 in // spring
    Planting // 50°F // 3.74 in // spring
    Flocktime // 59°F // 3.54 in // low-summer
    Wealsun // 72°F // 3.47 in // low-summer
    Reaping // 81°F // 3.74 in // high-summer
    Goodmonth // 75°F // 4.93 in // high-summer
    Harvester // 68°F // 3.94 in // high-summer
    Patchwall // 62°F // 3.54 in // autumn
    Ready'reat // 42°F // 3.74 in // autumn
    Sunsebb // 32°F // 3.35 in // winter

    More or less the weather tables will be the same as for
    Domain of Greyhawk as per tAB pg 48-53 with lower temp. and
    higher prec.

    Sunsebb - Fireseek - Readying = Winter / early spring
    weather table tAB pg 51

    Coldeven - Planting = Mid-spring weather table tAB pg 51

    Flocktime - Wealsun = Low summer weather table tAB pg 52

    Reaping - Goodmonth = High summer weather table tAB pg 52

    Harvester = Early fall weather table tAB pg 52

    Patchwall - Ready'reat = Late fall weather table tAB pg 52



    RADIGAST average temp. and precipitation.
    Fireseek // 41°F // 1.97 in // winter
    Readying // 42°F // 1.78 in // spring
    Coldeven // 47°F // 1.38 in // spring
    Planting // 50°F // 1.58 in // summer
    Flocktime // 54°F // 1.78 in // summer
    Wealsun // 61°F // 1.58 in // summer
    Reaping // 68°F // 1.66 in // summer
    Goodmonth // 68°F // 1.90 in // summer
    Harvester // 59°F // 1.50 in // autumn
    Patchwall // 50°F // 1.90 in // autumn
    Ready'reat // 45°F // 1.97 in // autumn
    Sunsebb // 37°F // 1.82 in // winter

    Lake effect smooth weather compared to Greyhawk.
    I would use again table from tAB pg 48-53 as follows :

    Sunsebb - Fireseek - Readying = Mid spring weather table

    Coldeven - Planting = Low summer weather table

    Flocktime - Wealsun - Reaping - Goodmonth = mid to high
    summer weather table

    Harvester - Patchwall = Early fall weather table

    Ready'reat = Late fall weather table

    I wasn't sure if this was a question at first or a submission of your research. While I know the sources on how to determine weather in any part of the Flanaess it is quite impressive to see it broken down in advance into a region like you have.

    You should consider submitting an extended article to CF about weather in particular regions of GH. I think it would be worthwhile!

    Nice info Serolf! I agree with Mortellan. You should write up and submit a comprehensive regional series for weather. It would be a nice reference piece for all DM's to have at hand to figure probable weather in various regions of the Flaness.

    Whether Weather

    Serolf,

    Check out this site, it's pretty cool. It uses the season and latitude to gen appropriate weather. It might help your project.

    Mortellan, Cebrion : Thanks for your encouragements.

    This post was designed as a little submission, I had this info on my hardrive since some months, and as i have recently discovered the interesting info one can found on a forum, i had thought this post could be a good first contribution.

    As my campaign move around, i will try to design more of such tables.

    Also i am looking for feedback on this first post, if some of you find some contradictions with existing sources (to the exception of WOG'83 weather table)

    Fairylover : is the program on your link based on the WOG'83 tables ?

    Smile

    Whether in Helsinki or Helena, the weather Stoinks....

    Serolf,

    I believe it is, but you should ask the Finnish genius who wrote the program. Here's a link to a thread over on the wizards greyhawk board:
