With this week’s PDF being “Quick Generator – Wild Weather and Events”, the theme was set to be about the weather and , it could be argued, climate as well.
As with some previous 10 questions, some of the prompts/questions in this set can be applied to a local region, national, or global region.
For base general weather patterns, a climate that is similar to Earth is assumed as a baseline to start with.
- How reliable/predictable is the weather patterns?
- Is there a large variation between the top and bottom end of possible events?
- What is the most common weather “event”?
- Is there an official system in place for forecasting the weather?
- How common are catastrophic weather events and what type occurs the most?
- Do the weather patterns contribute to the local culture in any way?
- Is a certain weather pattern or event required for a particularly important aspect of life?
- For each major climate aspect (cold, wet, hot etc), which area is at the top and which the bottom of the chart?
- Are there any anomalous weather patterns that stand out?
- What is the most unusual weather event, compared to Earth?
Bonus question: How are extreme weather events named and who names them?
