6.19 WEATHER

Weather in Achaea is a simple, and intuitive affair. The only weather-related
command to know about is FORECAST, which will tell you about the temperature,
the wind, and generally about the weather conditions. You will _usually_ find
that all the weather in one area is the same. For instance, all of the western
ithmia would have the same weather. Unfortunately, this does mean that when
moving from one area to another, you could immediately be in a new type of
weather.

As you spend time in Achaea, you will encounter a number of possible
weather-related effects. These include, but are not limited to, the inability
to squint or glance in heavy snow, rain, or fog, finding your conversations
drowned out in high winds, being blown about while you are flying in high
winds, being blown out of the trees in high winds, losing health due to hail, and so on. Even a rare strike of lightning might cross your path, pray it doesn't strike you!

It's important to remember that windchill is a factor in Achaea too. It may be
about 25 degrees F, but if the wind is blowing strongly, the effective
temperature as far as you are concerned is much lower.
