Isle Weather Predictions for Year Two

Twelve Months of Predicted Weathers, courtesy of hardy native elves and Seers.

Those who've been here longer than the colonists and those who profess to have an insight to the future have pondered the climate's conditions and committed them to parchment to guide us in this year. This could be a very useful tool for planning excursions, crops and activities. (It could also be completely wrong, but it's better than nothing :P) We present a month-by-month Weather Almanac, below:

January:
With an exception of a cold snap from 15 through 22 Jan, with lows predicted in the upper 60s, the month is expected to be otherwise warm (mid-to-high 80's)and relatively dry. February:
Climate steadies at the average 84*, but the winds pick up, with some gusts approaching 20 knots. Secure your roofing and tie down loose items on your property. Secure your animals. March:
The winds have died down in Second Week March, giving way to a seasonal downpour expected to arrive by 14 March. The skies will clear by 18 March with our lands replenished and lush.
April:
With the new blooming underway, the temperatures climb to an arid average 90*. Brief passing thunderstorms are the norm, but dangerous lightning can also follow. In case of a light display in the sky, take cover. Sea swells also bring in the infamous covering of the shore with dead jellyfish, expected 20 April, that normally clears within ten days. May:
The May temperatures stay, but are expected to soar in a heat wave predicted from 8 May until possibly the end of the month. Humidity borderlining unbearable can be expected, with relief being found on our beaches and sea. Little rainfall expected through this month, so farmers are cautioned to irrigate their lands with existing lagoonwaters. Freshwater may be rationed during heatwave if necessary. June:
Temperatures fall after the unseasonable heatwave to a very welcome, balmy 86*. Mild to moderate rains are common at dusk, with the temperatures falling to the average 79*. A very pleasant month predicted, with the seagrass crops maturing and being harvested for export.
July:
No sooner have the seagrasses been harvested and sent out, that another strike of lightning activity is predicted, spanning the week of 1-8 July. These unlike the other light display are expected to be centralized and localized to the east end of the Isle, and vessel travel is discouraged in case of squalls. August:
Perhaps the prettiest, most comfortable time on the Isle. This is the one time of year that Mainlands we know have mirrored or mimicked our climate. The average daily temperatures are mid-to-high 80's, with an occasional sharp nightly drop (65*), but otherwise a pleasant 75 as the standard nighttime temperature. Winds and rain are noticeably absent, making for our dryest month. September:
The beginning of Typhoon Season, to hit Third Week. Let us learn a lesson from Year One's Typhoon and be prepared this time round. Average daily temperatures 83*, nightly temperatures a crisp 71*.
October:
2 October is the Anniversary of the Typhoon, with ninety-eight lives lost. Sea Swells of up to fifteen feet, dangerous coastal flooding and wicked lightning were more the norm than the exception. At times the winds bite at a low 55*. When the Typhoon lifts its cover of darkness and death, however, the temperature stabilizes at an average 85*, the nights falling to a usual 80*. November:
The threat of Typhoon starts to alleviate, giving way to more pleasant conditions. Humidity is at record lows, and the cycle for the next year begins anew, conditions very similar to January Past. Little to no rainfall is set to strike the Isle, unless Typhoon rears its deadly head once more. December:
The temperatures soar to 105* for an expected heatwave predicted for 12-18 December, and relief will be found when the temperatures plunge to a bitter 50* on 19 December, this cold snap lasting up to seven days. Some plantlife and perhaps our less-accustomed animals risk exposure and death if not protected. The temperature will stabilize to its norms of 80-85* through the end of the month.
