THE CLIMATE OF MORTHIA

## GENERAL

Most of Morthia enjoys a Mediterranean Environment. Warm summer months and chilly winters. Many interior mountain ranges within the continent get very cold and remain fairly cold even in summer. Most of them retain their snow all year long.

## Tropical

SERVICE- DELKRANEIYSIA NATIONAL CYCLONE CENTER: HQ MADISON MISSISSIPPI

Eight countries in Morthia frequently have run-ins with tropical systems. They are- Delkraneiysia...Vaqwuia...Lazarifis...Spadon...USMR...Odelian Republic...Newkeloupi...Galque. Dekraneiysia and Odelian Republic generally see the highest frequency in storms. Tropical Storms and Hurricanes often form from March till September, Sometimes October in warmer or more severe seasons. However, it is not unusual for a storm to form in the winter. Strong hurricanes are more frequent in Morthia, as the waters are warmer than that of the Atlantic and Pacific. This can fuel some intense hurricanes, the ones Morthia is famous for! Hurricanes in Morthia tend to be stronger then ATL, because of the warm coastal waters where they form. 8/10 times a trop storm will form off the Delkraneiysia coast along with the west coast of USMR and Odelian Republic. Odelian Repubic, also known as the hurricane capitol of the Morthian world, has a tropical climate and often, storms can form with little notice. Once a system gets going, Odelian Republic is likely to be hit. it gets hit by numerous storms per year as it lies in the middle of what Morthian locals call Hurricane Alley, or the Hurricane Express. Like the storms coming off Mexico in the pacific, the storms come off the USMR and Odelian Rep. for many months of the year. Waters here are very warm in summer, often reaching 35C. Odelian Rep. has the highest per capita hurricanes in Morthia ahead of Dekraneiysia, despite having a fraction of the land area in the tropical basin; thanks to the Hurricane Express. The tradewinds usually are responsible for this general direction, but sometimes they blow more westerly, taking Odelian Rep off the bullseye, and most storms will pass by with the storm surge and brush effects hitting the nation. These storms tend to dissipate out to sea, and often don't get as strong as they are carried over colder waters. Two- The basin in the summer is very muggy and humid. Coastal USMR, Odelian Rep. and Tropical DKU have a Humid Subtropical Geographical Climate. Thanks to the DK's rainforests. The tradewinds blow the humid rainforest air over the ocean, making it naturally quite damp. Often creating storms. Another thing that will influence hurricane growth. The humid air stick around untill October, when the air begins to cool off for the season and the jet stream sinks south, well south of the rainforests.

## Tornados

Generally, much of Morthia is Tornado free. 60% of tornadoes in Morthia occur in Delkraneiysia. Tropical systems often will spawn tornadoes upon landfall. On Average DKU sees about 40 tornadoes a year, so nothing compared to the USA. Vaqwuia and Odelian Republic see the tropical tornadoes which accounts for about 33% of the average Morthian Tornadoes. Tropical tornadoes are the ones that form from Hurricanes and Trop Storms. Non tropical tornadoes are from Thunderstorms. For the entire DKU Basin area, generally about 245 Tornadoes will occur per year, still far lower than the USA. DKU Tornados occur most often in the Delcore's Region and the area around the Delcore's Ocean.

## Thunderstorms

Picture Florida when thinking about Morthian Thunderstorms. They see an average of about 300 thunderstorms per year across about 183 days of the year. Spring and summer are prime time for Thunderstorms (April-September). The supermajority of storms are not severe enough to produce tornadoes. In the DKU, thunderstorms occur most often in the WestTrop Channels, Olympia, Delcore's Region, and Sea of a Thousand Islands.

## Wildfires

Wildfires are rare in Morthia, thanks to the moist air and rainy environment.

## Extreme Heat

Heat Waves in Summer can happen from May to early September. A "Heatwave" requires temperature of 95 degrees of higher for three days or more. Cooler regions may consider 85+ a heatwave. While rare, Vaqwuia, USMR, and parts of the DKU often see temperatures reach into the 100s. They average about 30 days above 90 and 17 above 100. 3 days can reach 107 or higher. Morthia uses Fahrenheit for air temps, but Celsius for water temps. Warm waters can be caused by the extreme heat down south, which can drastically raise the shallow water's temperatures. Extreme Heat warnings (Excessive Heat Warnings) are most common in Vaqwuia and the USMR. Western DKU can see these high temperatures. On average three to seven heat waves a year, usually lasting about four days.

## Sea Temperature

Sea Temperature is warmer for coastal areas and colder for deeper ocean. Normally in winter, the only place warm enough to produce a storm or hurricane is coastal DKU, coastal USMR and Odelian Rep. Winter lows occur in December and January around 28C. Delcore's Region waters can remain around 30C in the winter. This allows the thriving of tropical fish and corals. Delcores Region in the summer however have tendencies to reach 38C to 41C in 2023. While 41C won't cause bleaching in that region, it could cause distress, and fish often move northwards towards Finolia, Ny-Norge, and ArenaC. DKU waters are warmer then American, so thanks to evolution, the tropical sealife has evolved a tolerance for higher temps. Bleaching typically happens at 42C.

# Winter

## Snow

Almost every country in Morthia will see snow. The southern countries will more likely see snow only at night. This is Odelian Rep, Vaqwuia, Galque, Newkeloupi, Jitichet. Aurkov, Tudriomo & Rhindu, Coastal Lazarifis, Westrop Region of DKU, and USMR. Everyone else can see snow even in the day. Snow is possible from September through April in much of the northern and higher elevations of Morthia. DKU's snowiest state sees this snow pattern. The highs and lows there don't change a whole lot, and generally peaks in the 30s and drops into the upper teens lower 20s (oF). This in Yusalinov, Tuilenov, and Syacatra. These paces are like Colorado, they have high mountains that don't see much summer temperatures, staying chilly in the summer. This region sees cold and snow for 8 months of the year. They average more than 300 inches of snow yearly. The country with the least snow is Kaplieqoa, Chikosovania who don't get any snow.

## Extreme Cold

Polodamia sees the most polar climate, as being the coldest place in Morthia, and sometimes the whole world. Lows can drop to -90F! Coastal regions up there will still be cold, but more habitable, around -35. Polodamia doesn't get that much snow, as its more of a polar desert. The next coldest place is in the Finnegan Mountains in Delkraneiysia. They are in zone 1B, so expect lows around -55. The Mountains of Ny-Norge is actually around zone 3A, around -37F. The lower elevations in DKU, southern Ny-Norge sees extreme cold through cold spells. Some cold spells have reached and brought snow to the USMR. USMR and Odelian Rep's Cold Spells could plummet temps to the teens. Generally winter highs there are in the 40s and 50s. If it occurred at night, lows could drop below zero.
