Weather
Syntax: weather {local|global|fog}
"weather global" produces a complex weathermap of Middle-Earth. This map gives you the weather type in the whole world using the following signs:
: nice weather ~ : clouds ' : rain " : heavy rain * : snow
The letters you can see when the weather is nice represent the cities of Middle-Earth. See Map to learn about those.
Weather may have several influences in the game (increasing/reducing move costs or vision, dehydration, favouring illnesses, and so on...).
"weather fog" behaves in a similar way, but it shows areas of light and thick fog. Fog may hinder your sight and might even make locating yourself quite hard.
If you want to know about the weather in your nearer vicinity, you can use the "weather local" command.
It is rumoured powerful magic may alter the course of the local weather.
