=== Climate ===
With the exception of [[Shinovar]] and the occasional well sheltered [[lait]], all of Roshar is frequently ravaged by powerful [[highstorm]]s. These storms come
The one consistent aspect of the Rosharan climate is the [[Weeping]]. The Weeping occurs every 500 days and consists of four weeks of steady crem-free rain. The middle day of those four weeks is known as the Lightday and alternates between being one clear day in the midst of the rain and being a high storm.{{book ref|WoR|46}} There are typically fewer highstorms in the weeks leading up to the weeping. {{book ref|WoK|25}} The seasons following the weeping typically have weaker storms, making them good for farming.{{book ref|WoK|4}} Beyond this, the seasons are about as random as the highstorms. They can be roughly predicted by stormwardens, but only tend to last a few weeks and don't follow any obvious pattern. The characteristics of winter, spring, summer and autumn line up fairly well with what we expect from those seasons on Earth.{{book ref|WoK| 18}}{{book ref|WoK|4}}{{book ref|WoK|25}}{{book ref|WoK |54}}
