Ultimate Wilderness Weather Generation

Has anyone put together a little computer program to automatically generate weather using the new system from Ultimate Wilderness? I'm curious to give it a try, but as much as I like crunchiness, I just don't know if I want to take the time to do it for every day.


If you can show me the rules I can have a look at it. I don't own the book and can't see anything with a quick search

I don't know when/if it'll get to the PRD/PFSRD, but it starts on page 165 of Ultimate Wilderness. The thing I like about it is that it provides a much more nuanced and realistic range of weather. The Core Rulebook has "Fog" (London pea soup-fog where you can barely see past your hand), but Ultimate Wilderness has "light fog", "medium fog", and "heavy fog." Similarly, it has rain ranging from drizzle to regular to heavy, and three different types of snow. All these things have different mechanical effects.

And I just realized I posted this in the ACG homebrew forum :) Flagged to be moved.


You should be able to post the rules here without too much concern as far as I am aware.

If it were just a feat or something, I would, but it's a full 8-page system with a bunch of tables that wouldn't format well :)


Ah yes. That makes sense. Hmmm. I doubt I can be of help then. Sorry


Just so OP is aware, this is the Homebrew forum of the card game, not the RPG. I'll be flagging this thread as wrong forum.

Jhaeman is. (post 3)

ObTopic: If it's just tables from the book it should be pretty easy to mock up in Excel or something similar. I'd take a look but I don't own that book. :/

I have a mockup up at this link. It is still incomplete.

It will generate 5 days worth of high/low temperatures based on your selections, but I'm still missing quite a bit (which I hope to address in a few hours):

  • Precipitation
  • Cloud cover
  • Wind speed
  • Expanding to 14 (or maybe 15) days out
  • OGL statement

FYI, I've finished this up and started a new thread here for comments/feedback.


Hello all,

I have created an automated weather generation system based on the Ultimate Wilderness rules. I plan to continue to modify it into the future as requested, so please check it out and let me know any suggestions you might have:

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback by email. I have found the time recently to work out more of the bugs, improve formatting slighting, include support for generating 31 days, and (most significantly) include support for the metric system!

Thanks so much for all the support and encouragement. If you have any further suggestions for improvements, do let me know.
