The Flanaess is particularly blessed in regards to its weather. Except in the northern latitudes, the winter temperatures seldom dip below freezing except during the two winter months, and at night during early spring and late autumn. In the depths of winter, there will be a few days when the temperature reaches 0, and then gradual warming begins. The northeast and central northern regions tend to be considerably colder, as the sea of those regions causes winter to linger about twice as long. An important exception to this is the Drawmidj Ocean; its warm currents tend to moderate the climate of the lands which border it, to a degree similar to several latitudes farther south. Both spring and autumn are protracted seasons, by and large. Summer in the central lands of Oerik lasts five or more months. Prevailing winds tend to be from the northeast in the winter and autumn, from the east and southeast in other times. The wintry north wind is often called “Telchur’s Breath” after the Oeridian god of the north, and the spring wind from the esat is called “Atroa’s laugh”, for the Oeridian goddess of the east and springtime. Mountain ranges and the like may alter this. Most areas of the Flanaess have sufficient rainfall to assure abundant crops.
