Hurricanes, Blizzards, Dust Storms & More - Worldbuilder's Log 43

[@DragonOfThePineForest]

Before I get roasted by the entirety of the astronomy section of artifexian’s fan base: The analemma is from the sun’s perspective. Hence why if you were to calculate it for earth it wouldn’t give you the classic picture seen on Wikipedia. I am planning on making it more accurate to what is seen on ground, but this might take a bit and if I do it’ll be posted on my KZbin channel.

[@FWHSimulator]

Was great getting to run my simulator on such a beautiful hand-crafted world map. Thanks so much for an awesome collab! 😁❤

[@GeodeCrowley22]

As somebody who lived in places like New Mexico for a decent chunk of time, i can tell you that stronger winds can occur inland at high altitudes if it's flat and arid enough! There were hardly any trees up there, and at certain points, it got bad enough to nearly bowl 15yo me over.

[@kiwispaperplanes8585]

Absolutely love this series, please please keep going!

[@lvwerneck]

I absolutely love this series and how beautifully complete and complex it is. That said, it also massively triggers my anxiety and imposter syndrome and makes me want to throw away 17 years of stories because the pen & paper world I made them in no longer feels real to me 😢

[@joshuabaughn3734]

I believe the next step is the chemistry of this world. Once that's done, the chronological timeline of this world is established, then life!

It’s funny this posted right as a hurricane is coming towards me lol

[@athko]

oh, with sandstorms id assume madeleine is marking haboob-type sandstorms specifically, which are associated with severe weather fronts, rather than just any wind-driven sandstorm - haboobs are quite common in texas, for instance

[@madelinejameswrites]

Absolutely fantastic, as always!

[@Ptaku93]

*fortunate

[@xiphosura413]

Southern Atlantic tropical cyclones are suppressed mainly by the ITCZ simply not going that far south, plus crazy wind shear. Similar for the south east pacific. Also love me some proper mountains butting up against a TC zone! What I wouldn't give to see that on Earth, but our tropics are simply too flat on the east coasts. Always wondered what would happen if a proper monster storm were to pummel something like the Andes, that would be a mighty wet coastline.

[@morenosandiego]

In California we have something like a Föhn winds its called the Santa Ana/Diablo winds because of how hot they are.

[@alexandrusimo899]

can we bring back the dooblydoo please 🥺🥺🥺

[@bca_4321]

Just thought I should point out that at least one Cfb climate got hit with a solid hurricane this year. The highlands of Western North Carolina got absolutely blasted by hurricane Helene, knocking out power for millions, flooding cities, killing hundreds, and washing away whole towns.

23:03 we have Foehn Winds in Argentina. We call it the "sonda" wind and a geography teacher once told me that it can dry grapes (an important produce in the western side of my country) in seconds.

[@pacotaco1246]

The weather is so cool that we got weather 2!

[@nature337]

Hurricanes crashing into dramatic coastal mountains must be wild, i dont know if we have that on earth. Maybe the Indian subcontinent?

[@mvalthegamer2450]

Not quite. The eastern coast of India, which gets most of the cyclones, is relatively flat. We do get a tropical storm on the West Coast sometimes, but it's impossible to tell apart from regular rain.

[@CuriosityCore101]

I've been having a really bad week. Seeing that there's a new Artifexian video is already a huge comfort in and of itself, but there's a discord server now?! I'm actually genuinely excited!

[@SIZModig]

Thanks for another great video! Once we get to population I hope you'll do some kind of migration path instead of summoning people in various places willy-nilly.

[@JadeyGon]

Yessss

[@townsendwright3999]

Ooh, the section on Föhn winds just helpfully confirmed the plausibility of a phenomena I had imagined in my fantasy setting! The desert-making Hellwinds of Atleb do make sense! (aside from the fact that they're generated by the Sun rising out of a tunnel beneath the earth Gilgamesh-style) Thanks!

[@ananas_anna]

I’m not sure I’m ever going to use the majority of this information cuz I don’t think I’m ever going to design a world this detailed, but I love this series and I’m learning a lot from it. And it’s incredibly cool to see your world gradually come to life. I can’t wait til you get to biology.

[@Mamusfleca]

Love how this looks. For some reason I envision some type of nomadic culture that utilizes a type of wind-snow glider in the north of Jannar ennabled by the strong winds in junction with the heavy snow. Migrating during the winter blizzards and settling during the summers

[@kentario1610]

First time I've heard polar vortex conditions be referred to as Baltic conditions (if the captions are right), neat!

[@craz2580]

worldbuilding sounds to relax and study to

[@SotraEngine4]

I wonder about hurricane graveyards, though. Like I notice that months after a hurricane in the Mexican gulf, there are these heavy rain strong winds timed at the south west coast of Norway. I know the south west coast gets winds and rains, but it is like 20-25 m/s instead of 10-15 m/s and like twice the rain. Like an autumn or early winter phenomena. This may be mostly a hunch from an engineer though, but I found it worth throwing in.

[@ijahnnakehlam5919]

Wind funnel, lol! I live in a wind funnel area because of gaps in the small mountains. It's always windy😂

[@justintownsend4555]

Great Video! I live in the Great Lakes region of the US and we get significant Lake Effect snow during out winters that results in regular blizzards. I'm no expert here but I would think that despite the lack of strong winds, the areas to the east of the large lakes on the western continent there would also be subject to large snowfall events? If anyone who knows more about Lake Effect snowstorms has some input please share.

[@fernandorevilla3518]

Yay new episode!!!

[@Taqterra]

With recent hurricanes blasting the US SE, it would be informative to take a tour of cretak to see local climates, areas of interest. To see what life is like across the globe

[@swanstarr1441]

When you say you're gonna put humans on cretak, do you mean you're gonna take modern humans and put them on there via space travel, or are you gonna have them be there and develop cultures and languages and that from scratch?

I was wondering if a planet could be habitable around a quasar? If it was bright enough and far enough away?

The radiation would be too much to sustain life, not to mention it would likely blow all the atmosphere off the poor planet, if it survived what made the star a quasar in the first place.

I have a question about your end goals here: You mentioned at the start of this project that you were planning on having a speculative bio component to the project, I guess what I'm unsure of is how that's going to gel with plopping humans into the world? Was I just misinterpreting what you meant with spec bio in your episode 0 from two years ago? Are you planning on doing + arbitrary humans? Is this going to be a 'the first colonization sites of humans on this world?' This question isn't intended as criticism, I'm just wondering if my expectations for the spec bio portion were misaligned with your aims for that part of the project.

[@AlexArthur94]

From what I know, he will be doing spec evo; the humans will be added after that for culture worldbuilding and conlanging purposes.

[@natheniel]

I’m no meteorologist but tropical cyclones DO and OFTEN cross into the temperate zone in western pacific. Japan and Taiwan gets so many typhoon this summer it’s bad.

[@speedhd4090]

hey, ive been loving this series , i think you should re-palette the map to show the zones of different climates abit better. only saying this because i saw you doing the sand storms and was painted over lush green vegetation. so less of a height map and more of a satellite map . but i might just be dumb and its supposed to be like that .

Now, the Eastern part of Ezri with the Cfb, in terms of society, the mountains would insure a great diversity of climate, and seeing your weather event map plus the plate tectonics would infer an environment that is quite hostile with frequent natural disasters, while factors such as upwelling would insure relatively plentiful food. This would probably land itself to a deeply conservative, vertical and conformist culture, that would also put a strong value on generosity. Also, Dfb and Dfc microclimates would create in seditary cultures villages of people with severe bone deformations and osteoporosis from undermineralized water. These societies might thus development a cast system similar to feudal Japan at some point, with higher altitude being seen with negativity, and impure things should be kept on hard stones to avoid soiling the sacred soil.

Do you know the historical model of Philippe Fabry, historionomy It is a model that describes the trajectories of political entities and civilizations With on the one hand the formation of nation-states, with two types of possible formations: Either from an anarchic situation, in this case several then royal states will form in the fertile areas and the one located in the largest plain (or fertile zone) will conquer those located in the geographically and ethnically close plains , until coming up against the zone of influence of another more or less equivalent state, Either from an independence revolution, where a national feeling is created based on the memory of independence, a certain system of justice, and an expansionist desire which will only stop if a greater power comes to break its expansionist momentum . or to the point of coming up against the zone of influence of another state with more or less equivalent power (which with equal population capacity, happens further for states formed from an independence revolution) In both cases, if the country stabilizes ethically, if there is no longer a strong population movement and strong explantations, the different ethnic groups within the country assimilate mutually until they can form a nation, which takes about 600 years of stability, if there are disturbances during this period it delays the formation of the nation in proportion to the severity of the disturbance (for example the 100 years war between France and England delayed the formation of the French nation by 100 years) Once the nation is formed, if the political system finds itself ruined and humiliated (by a lost war most often) this leads to a national revolution with the overthrow or removal of the powers of the old regime the formation of a democratic or oligarchic (census suffrage) system and can, after a surge of conquest and the emergence of a revanchist imperialist (Cromwell, or Napoleon Bonaparte for example), if the country finds itself quickly defeated or suffers a political vacuum, a parliamentary democratic or oligarchic regime is established If the country does not find itself quickly defeated or does not suffer a political vacuum, the imperial or authoritarian system established by the vengeful imperialist continues. And on the other hand, the trajectory of different civilizations depending on geography What he exposes on his channel and in lives that he did for another radio channel Athéna
