was talking about this with someone else
but it would be neat to see weather in warcraft explored upon a bit more. stormwind always hit me like it would be like, american pacific northwest weather. durotar and the barrens should have a monsoon season. gilneas is perpetually stormy and gloomy, so i wonder if it even gets hit by larger tropical storms or anything. maybe its covered in some sort of cyclone, if that’s even possible.
stranglethorn hits me that it’d have a florida climate, as well. hurricanes, if they exist on azeroth, feel like would hit stranglethorn pretty hard before moving northbound. by the time it reaches stormwind you get one helluva thunderstorm, but its not severe enough to cause people to evacuate. and by the time the stormcell hits gilneas or kul tiras, its just a lingering downpour. the storms around the maelstrom must be the mother of all weather. the maelstrom itself seems to be veiled in a perpetual super cyclone.
this even gets me thinking about whether or not earthquakes are common on azeroth, if they have a ring of fire like earth does, and the locations of azeroth’s major fault lines. there’s a few that got uncovered by the cataclysm, but i wonder if you could actually trace others. that and the location of azeroth’s volcanoes. there’s a surprisingly small number of them, even after the cataclysm.
i ramble.
