| Post subject: | Weather | 
| I think it's one of the least thought-about subjects in world-building. So in what areas of your world do certain events take place? Hurricanes in my world only exist on the edges of the world; since it's flat. What about dust storms, snowstorms, and tornadoes? Just a random thought. | |

| That's a good question, V.  Considering that my world is round, I'm trying to pattern the weather after Earth's...although I'm not sure what effect three moons would have on it yet.. | |

| I pattern my weather around Earth's as well, Milly. More or less, anyway. | |

| *nods* A very good subject to consider, especially in fantasy. My main project involves a world that is most likely flat, is covered by clouds 100% of the time, doesn't have a sun (don't worry, it has other means of illumination), and probably has other strange worldbuilding factors that will make climate a thousand times more confusing to understand. I hope that in the end I will able to figure it all out.   | |

| This is slightly off-topic, but the Sword of Lyric series by Sharon Hinck has a sun-less and rain-less world. There's not much world-building in the books, but maybe the author has done some worldbuilding somewhere else that could be found *will look up some stuff up* Andrew | |

| Weather is an interesting concept to consider. My weather is pretty much patterned after the earth. I make sure that I have different seasons in my books, snow, rain, and the like, but I have never really mixed up anything... | |

Because of that I feel my clouds and sun stuff will be different enough (especially the clouds). | |

| I too generally pattern the weather of my world after Earth, even though it's flat. But most countries have a patron (a Vayna (that universe's equivalent of an angel, sort of), a Great Fairy, a dragon, or something similar) who maintains its climate "the way it's supposed to be" (for example, the Sunshine Kingdom is so named because it's always sunny there and never rains, with moisture---and enough for a lot of forests---coming from dew, fog, and groundwater), which affects the climate and weather a lot more than location, elevation, etc., do. | |

| Moved to the Geography room since weather patterns fall somewhat loosely under the umbrella of geography.   | |

| There is some abnormal weather at the climax of my book, but I don't want to give it away... It's completely AWESOME though.   | |

| A world without a sun or with more than one moon will have a sea really different for earth. Not only the moon can change the depth of water on the sea but the sun too. If you have a more closer moon or sun you'll have an higher water level. | |
