This includes knowledge of wind speed, rainfall, cloud cover and even the amount of particulates in the air. If the weather varies across the spell's area of effect — such as rainfall occurring in one location but not another — the caster will be aware of these distinctions, gaining a detailed understanding of localized weather patterns rather than a singular, uniform forecast.
This includes knowledge of wind speed, rainfall, cloud cover and even the amount of particulates in the air. If weather conditions vary within the spell's area of effect — such as rain falling in one location but not another — the caster will perceive these differences, ensuring an accurate understanding of localized shifts in atmospheric conditions.
Weather Patterns
It should be conceded that weather in many parts of the world does not change significantly throughout a day, even for a high-level caster. In regions where the climate remains stable for long periods, such as deserts, deep winter tundra or the heart of a vast ocean beneath clear skies, the spell's revelations may amount to little more than confirmation of continued stillness, heat, cold or dryness. The magic does not force the weather to behave unpredictably, nor does it manufacture sudden shifts where none would naturally occur.
However, in places where weather is volatile — such as coastal regions, mountainous terrain or areas prone to seasonal storms — even a first level caster can obtain crucial warnings of impending changes. Higher levels may foresee a distant storm front, a steady fall in temperature or a long-term shift in wind patterns that might turn an otherwise safe journey into a hazardous one. In these environments, the spell's insight can mean the difference between being caught unprepared or making timely preparations to avoid danger.
