The Climate Settings page (reached by clicking the "Climate" tab on the Calendar page) can be used to set up climates which are then used to generate weather.

Name and Season
Each climate needs to be given a name, and up to four climates can be generated with the same name: one for each season (spring, summer, autumn and winter).

Temperatures
The maximum and minimum temperatures are used to generate daily temperatures using a normal distribution. This means that there is a very small (~0.3%) chance that a day's temperature will lie just outside the temperature range when weather is generated.

Weather Types
There are nine different weather types defined: sunny, cloudy, overcast, showers, rain, storm, hurricane, snow and blizzard. Each of these must be assigned a number between 0 and 100, which represents the % chance of that kind of weather occurring. The total of these numbers must be 100.

For example, if the numbers are 50% sunny and 50% cloudy, when weather is generated approximately half of the days will be sunny and half cloudy.
