Climate

    Once you've designed your world(s), you'll want to lay out the climate patterns--where it's hot and where it's not, where rain falls and doesn't, and so forth. Climate is determined by many factors: intensity of sunlight, latitude, ocean currents, and landforms. The Climate section discusses these factors and gives you tips to make an authentic world according to your whims. If you want a desert world, an Ice Age, steamy jungles, or more exotic climes, the Climate section shows you how to do it right.
