[Cel] [World] Climate Zones

---+ Climatic Regions

---++ North Midsea

The North Midsea region sees warm wet winters and hot dry summers.  (This is 
similar to California or the Mediterranean.)

---++ South Midsea

The South Midsea region sees warm summers and cool winters with year-round 
precipitation.  (This is similar to Washington or Oregon in North America, or 
Germany or England in Europe.)

Either way works for me -- although the Midsea is small enough that I'd be surprised to see so much variation in climate. Much of the difference in climate over the areas mentioned comes from ocean currents rather than solar input, with Oregon's coasts getting arctic waters and the Mediterranean waters being largely warm, I believe.

Personally, I expect the Midsea to help all of the Midsea nations to have very similar climates. It's only when you go farther north and south that you approach the Equator (to the North) and are exposed to Antarctic currents (to the South). On the other hand, the variation would imply some really nasty currents...

It is?  According to the scale on the Qaiyore map the distance is about 2,000 
miles north to south, or about 30 degrees latitude (assuming the world is the 
same size as earth).  30 degrees latitude covers Iceland to the Sahara on our 
earth.

Ah! My mistake -- I was just going on my memory of the map, and hadn't
realized that it went down to 95 degrees South. Umm...95 degrees? That big
island shown to be E and a bit S of Amotrall definitely extends below 90
degrees S. There definitely needs to be a bit of clarification there. Juuso?

Anyhow, objection withdrawn. I had mentioned that the Ka'Shari have traded
from Amotrall to the Northern Isles (as well as the Avaerean Isles), but
hadn't double-checked with the map for scale.

Hmmm... supposing that on Celandra, the straight angle is 100 degrees, 
not 90? Or perhaps the
island is the south pole? Whatever the units displayed on the map, the 
southern part of Qaiyore
is very much south; like the southernmost tip of South-America.

Hrm, close, I think, but if I may put in my $0.02 . . .

Actually, I'd say that the North Midsea has a climate rather like the
Mediterranean coast of North Africa. Go maybe a hundred miles north of
the coast, and you're getting into desert. It's wetter off to the
northwest, in the Wyr-Tal river basin, but still fairly dry. Of course,
the north coast of the continent and the Island of Celpalar are pretty
damn near tropical.

That sounds about right, for the coastal areas, at least. However, I'd
think that the farther inland you go, the colder it starts to get. I
seem to recall somewhere that southern Videssia is mostly coniferous
forest.
