Weather
As explained in the Climate section, Weather is extremely variable from day to day in Ikaanos city region.
Extreme weather increases Stamina loss when traveling - except for followers of the "Cult of the Elder".
Bad weather reduces chances to hit with Ranged attacks in Combat. And particularly affects fights on boats (e.g. if you are attacked by pirates when traveling upriver).
Weather affects NPC behaviour, for instance how bratty some behave, and how inclined to sex others may be.
Heat increases masterfilth, and heavy rain can reduce it.
Affects availability of many NPCs on the map - bandits and others may hide away if it is raining hard or baking hot. And may change the composition of bandit groups you face in combat.
Affects many dialog options whilst interacting with NPCs during quests and may affect outcomes when carousing in taverns.
Affects how well some of your teaching sessions go at The Academy.
Affects availability of Boardwalks and Star Gazing actions.
Affects chances of hunting successfully, and should inform your choice of tactics (searching is better in bad weather; using decoys is best when it is hot).
Affects income from prostitution ring sessions.
Bandit raids on your house are more brutal if it's hot.
