Waterdeep Weather

Appendix 1. Waterdeep Weather  
The City of Splendors enjoys milder weather than the norm due to unusually warm ocean currents and shelter from northern storms by Mount Waterdeep. Despite these advantages, strong westerly winds often beset the city, making it a damp and misty place. Random Weather Tables While some encounters require specific weather conditions as part of their story, the weather is frequently overlooked. Use this appendix to generate random weather effects to give life to your encounters. Based on the season, roll a d20 to determine the current weather. All temperatures are given in Fahrenheit. Winter Winters in Waterdeep often range from 0 to 45 degrees and snow is not uncommon. The warm westerly winds frequently lead to melting snow which only adds to foggy conditions. Snow from bitter northern winds is generally preferred by most locals, as a frozen road is easier to traverse than a muddy one.
