Summer Camp 2022 - Day 3

Hello everyone!

Day 3 has arrived and its full steam ahead. How's the Summer Camp going for y'all? Are you doing the prompts in order, or as the whim strikes you?
Yesterday, we had a ponder about terrain and the different sub-sections of a region. Today, lets have a look at weather!
Weather can be said to be the temperament of a region. Lashing winds, howling storms, thunder and lightning (and very very frightning) all create the atmosphere for a story. Monsoons, regular tidal waves, or wracking hurricanes can define life for cultures within any such region. Rain and mud have decided military campaigns as readily as any weapon. And that's before we enter the rain of the fantastical, where things like flesh-eating rain, clouds of sentient spores, or wandering, gravitational moon beams are all possible. No matter how outlandish they are, we have to think how the people who live there, day to day, cope and compensate for such weather.

And once more - what is the story you are trying to tell with your expanse, and how does the weather tell it?
