Weather

Random tables to generate weather conditions for common climate zones.

By referencing a specific climate zone, the host can generate appropriate weather based on the campaign setting, ensuring that environmental factors, such as storms or heat waves, affect the story organically. The tables are designed to average across seasons, providing a balanced, typical distribution of weather for each region.
