Wow! Now this was a master class. I developed a saying "storm is temporary, its 'damage' is pernament". This rings so true. It is a pity that I discovered this video once this stage of my world is closed. Once again, wow!

Great tutorial! There’s several biome mapping guides out there, but this is the first one I’ve seen that gets this deep into weather phenomena like these.

Very nice overview, thank you! And so many details! You even mentioned the foehn! :) I would like to add that the foehn isn't just a normal wind, but a very warm wind/storm in autumn/winter. About 10-20° warmer than usual, which can feel very wrong. As long as there is foehn, it is sunny and people who are sensitive to the weather absolutely don't like it.

Oh I bet that is strange! I'd love to experience that one day, just to understand the effect. This is why I love unique winds like that for worldbuilding! Thank you!

I'm really enjoying your World-building series. It's nice to see that there are things I've been doing right and equally nice to learn new information, too. And just a quick comment about your little ones; I think it's very impressive that you are finding the time to be creative as well as time to be a mum. That's impressive and inspirational: now I have no excuse. Thank you once again.

I'm so glad you're enjoying! And it's definitely a struggle sometimes with the little ones. Every few months we have to adapt to a new season and I have to reset my expectations for what I can get done. Like this summer the kids were in a more difficult stage and I got almost nothing done. I think the hardest part is just recognizing those season changes with them and knowing when I need to take it easy and when I can ramp back up!

@madelinejameswrites one of the nice things about having to work around their changes means that when you look back you'll have additional and personal memories. On a different note, when you were discussing blizzards that made me think of Norse Host-Guest culture.

I really appreciate these less common events, and the focus on air circulation and inclusion of weather events in the oceans! I'm writing a world with a race of flying people, so understandably wind and weather conditions are extremely important to them, and by extention me. With these people having mild weather predicting powers (because they asked the gods so often the gods decided to give them the power so they're bothered for such minor things less) they would be revered for their nature skills by other races too and... I'll keep making these notes and watching!

Oh yeah absolutely, there's so many interesting things you can incorporate with a flying race! I want to do something like that at some point, but it would be so cool to get into the differences at different heights. I've gone hot air ballooning enough times that I'm really interested in that!

Great video! Another interesting weather event to add would be wildfires. You don't have a lot of dry summer climate zones based on your climate map, but there might be some overlap between moderate/severe thunderstorms and some of the dry summer continental or semi-arid zones in the upper portion of the western continent that could fuel wildfires. Especially along the northern side of that mountain range where tree vegetation could exist. The central plains area of your northern hemisphere middle continent may also experience frequent grass wildfires similar to the US great plains. My guess is that your southern hemisphere continent is too wet for sustained wildfires and your eastern continent (and lower portion of the western continent) is too dry to fuel wildfires.

That's a great idea! Wildfires definitely come up in my biomes video that will be coming because certain vegetation is pretty susceptible, so I already know the main climate zones to put it in! I may need to do a weather part 2 at some point

Another great video. Love the focus on how these things have a major cultural effect rather than just their purely environmental effects. Glad the use of photoshop layers is proving to be enjoyable for you! I do think you might be missing the video mentioned at 39:50, unless I'm being particularly blind!

When discussing areas affected by cold waves of the polar vortex, you mentioned this tended to affect the Eastern side of continents and showed that for both Northern Hemisphere Continents and Southern Hemisphere Continents. However, a number of phenomena affect the opposite sides of continents in the opposite hemisphere, so my question is whether that blue region in the Southern Continent should be where it's at and not the Western end of the continent.
@madelinejameswrites

I believe it should still be the eastern side since this is more a result of the earths rotation and it's still in that same direction regardless of hemisphere

Hi Madeline, thank you for all your wonderful and informative videos. I am designing along and am bumping into some thunderstorm hiccups. Just like you, I have a lot of dry (quite a lot of arid) areas, and therefor a lot of gaps in the thunderstorm zones. In your video I see that the basic level of thunderstorms should not go into the year round arid areas. This brings up two questions for me: 1: do/should thunderstorms not occur in year round arid areas? 2: I see that you have added the yellow/basic zones into some of your year round arid areas, could you perhaps explain why you added it there? Was this to even out the areas or correct something?

So for 1, I would say they wouldn't occur there by default but weather patterns are definitely pretty flexible compared to what we mapped, so there is definitely a chance for these things if other conditions might allow for it, mainly the pressure zones and all that. The jet stream in particular can move around a lot, so you could get some storms in year-round arid areas. I would look at the earth maps for comparison for different areas to see if you feel there should be more thunderstorms somewhere.
