Temperature and Precipitation || Worldbuilding Guide Series Part 6

Welcome to the next video in my worldbuilding guide series for creating an Earth-like planet! This video is on temperature, precipitation, and aridity! These are the last maps we need before determining our climate regions!

NOTE this video was originally uploaded on my channel Madeline James Writes on June 8th, 2023.

DISCLAIMER: If you are looking to create a fantasy world in a few hours, this guide is not for you. If you are looking for good value between time spent and realism in your fantasy world, this is probably not for you either. This guide goes way more in depth than most other worldbuilding guides to a level that is objectively not necessary. However, “necessary” is not the point here. If you want to understand WHY your world is the way it is and let your world come alive as you slowly mold it, then this guide is for you.

To already contradict my disclaimer, the reason I go to this level of detail in creating my fantasy worlds is not just because I enjoy it. Things like geography and climate have a huge impact on civilization. Knowing about the world around your people is the first part in understanding them.
