Creating localized RPG weather using a simple Markov Chain - an example of a foggy swamp (Markov Chain Weather Part 3)
The weather can vary a lot from one location to another. For example, fog can form in a swampy valley even when the surrounding hills are clear. Similarly, precipitation in a mountain range is more likely to fall as snow and winds will be stronger. I’ve previously posted about using a simple Markov Chain to generate mid-latitude RPG weather that has realistic time variations. This post describes an extended Markov Chain method to produce weather that also varies from location to location.
