The current climate of Vigorithia is classified as a cold climate. With warm to mild summers and cold winters all over the country. The main factors of influence on Vigorithia's climate is are the ocean currents and the situation in the Frozen North.

The Climate of Vigorithia generally varies. The Southern Regions of Vigorithia are considerably calmer than the northern regions and the climate there is relatively warm in the summer (although moderated by the ocean) The Summer Climate of the Northern Regions is very mild in the summer, but windy. The Winters in Vigorithia are very gloomy. The Southern Regions see calm, cold Winters and the The Northern Regions see very cold and very stormy winters with blizzards and sea storms the norm.


Seasons

Winter

Winter in Vigorithia can get very cold and very windy. In the Southern Eastern Part of Vigorithia, the residents recieve a very cold and dry winter with temperatures averaging -1°C. Snow can be common. In the Eastern Side of Vigorithia, as a damp, swampy part. This side can get very slippery and very icey. The temperature though is more or less the same as Eastern Vigorithia.

Central Vigorithia can get very cold during winter, the average temperature hit's -5°C at that time of year. Snow is usually deep and blackouts are frequent. Northern Vigorithia gets very windy during winter and very cold, temperatures averaging -4°C and blizzards common at that time of year, life can be hard during that time.

Because of Vigorithia's location, Winters are very cold and very dark. Snow is common in all places, it sets in around November and doesn't melt until April or late March.

Spring

Spring in Vigorithia is a very bad time of year for Vigorithians. In the Southern Parts, snow begins to melt during mid March and in the Western side, this can cause mild flooding. In these parts, the temperature averages 4°C.

Central Vigorithia doesn't lose it's snow until middle April, although Snow remains on the mountains throughout the entire year. Spring is a popular region in the centre, as it symbolizes a new hunting season. The temperatures creep up to 1°C on average at that time. Northern Vigorithia becomes very rainy during Spring and the Snow melts early April. Average temperature there of 2°C.

Summer

Summer in Vigorithia is a widely celebrated event. It begins in June and lasts until August. The Southern areas recieve the best Sun of all, with the Sandy Area being the hottest place with temperatures usually at 12°C, at times it can hit 20°C. The swampy areas on the Western Side actually become rather humid.

Central Vigorithian snow melts at mid-April and in summer, they get an average temperature of 9°C, sometimes temperatures can increase to 15°C, but not very often. The Northern parts of Vigorithia are reasonably rainy at this time of year, but temperatures on average are 10°C and it can hit 17°C at times.

Autumn

Autumn in Vigorithia is a very wet time of year. Temeperatures across Vigorithia plummet, in Southern Vigorithia it hits 3°C on average. While the Central Vigorithian region hits only 0°C and snow can set in at late October on a cold year. The Northern Region gets 1°C on average at this time of year.

Regions

Vigorithia is obviously a cold country, but each part of Vigorithia has different weather patterns to each other.

The Southern Eastern Side of Vigorithia is the driest part of the region. With the least amount of rain and the calmest winters across Vigorithia, and also calmest seas. The climate is moderated by the Southern Vigorithian Waves.

The Southern Western Side of Vigorithia is the swampiest part of Vigorithia and the most humid. Slightly cooler than the Southern West, but can be rather sticky.

The Central Part of Vigorithia is the coolest place in Vigorithia, with the Shortest Summer in the whole of Vigorithia. Snow can happen in Summer on a rarity, and is inevitable in winter.

The Northern Side of Vigorithia is the windiest part of Vigorithia and the Frozen Lands bring storms to the region. A dry desert has formed in the side of the region as well, this place is very cold in the winter and the summer.

Sunshine and cloud

Vigorithia gets about 50 days of pure sunshine a year. In the Central Region, the mountains and the mist prevents them from ever having a full day of sunshine and partially cloudy days are the norm. The Northern Region is not much better with only 10 days a year of pure sunshine.

The Oceans

The Rough Lantian Ocean in the North has a large affect on Vigorithian's climate. The Cold Countries rainfall and high speed winds comes from the ocean around the island. Without the Lantian Ocean there, Vigorithia would be cooler and calmer.

Winds

The Ocean around Vigorithia makes Vigorithia into a very windy and rough country to live in.

The Wind mostly effects the Central and Northern East sections of Vigorithia. Vigorithia experiances powerful Winds.

Rainfall

The most common type of rain in Vigorithia is Sleet, a mixture of Ice and Rain. The Northern Parts of Vigorithia suffer from the most rain, while the Central Parts of Vigorithia recieve the smallest amount of rain.

Severe weather

Vigorithia suffers from Floods, which sometimes turn into thick temporary Ice are a threat in the Northern Eastern Areas.

Snowstorms are regular in the Central Regions.

Climate change

Vigorithia is slowly floating northwords closer to the freeze zone. The island is expected to cool down because of this.
