A '''highstorm''' is a particularly fierce weather system on the planet of [[Roshar]].{{cite}} They happen every few days and move from east to west, starting at the [[Origin]].{{ref|b|twok|c|12}} In the East of Roshar the highstorms are ferine and
Highstorms have a vast effect on the ecology of Roshar. Many plants, such as rockbuds, close themselves to not be damaged by the intensity of the storm. Much of the landscape has no soil, whereas Shinovar does, presumably because the highstorms cannot blow away the soil in Shinovar. Stormwater is better for plants than regular water.{{ref|b|twok|c|11}} Many cities had protection against the storms. [[Kholinar]] has its windblades{{ref|b|twok|c|60}}--large stone formations--and [[Sesemalex Dar]] has troughs prevents the city from flooding.{{ref|b|twok|c|55}}
Many curses are related to the highstorms, such as "storm you."
[[Stormwarden]]s try and predict when highstorms occur,{{ref|b|twok|c|44}} and have become somewhat accurate, though not always.{{ref|b|twok|c|18}} The Stormwardens have negative connotations since predicting the future is culturally associated with [[Voidbinding]]. <!-- associated with Voidbinding? I know it is forbidden in Vorinism because of the Hierocracy, but I'm missing a connection to Voidbinding. --->
