Can you make sense of my weather chart?

[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 4935408, member: 327"] Yes, so lets say on the 30th of Ches (March), due to some very lucky previous rolls and so on, your temperature was up +3 bands from the monthly standard. On the 30th of March, that would put the temperature at Moderate. On the following day, the 1st of Tarsakh (April), your starting point weather would be +3 bands from the new April monthly standard. That would put it at Hot. But since it is a new day, you have to roll the new days' weather deviation. Lets go with a statistical average and say you roll a 10, so you would get a "one band towards standard" result. This drops that Hot down to a Moderate temperature. This system should allows for deviations of unusually drastic weather (in relation to the monthly standard); but it should smoothly transition to the monthly standard after a few days. The big advantage over the other systems I've used is that its a smooth transition, not a leap from unseasonably cold one day, and due to a lucky die roll, unseasonably hot the next. Now that I think about it...I might lower the band up and band down percentages slightly as well, to further stabilize the system; but of course, you want some instability to keep the drama, etc. This is exactly the kind of reason why I post here... thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
