The chart above reflects general weather patterns in the Mûmakan.
It should be noted that these are not rigid figures, and there is always the chance that an extreme storm system or clearing front will create exceptions to these guidelines.
Note that precipitation comes in sudden, heavy rains which last for less than an hour, but are very frequent. Cloudcover in the jungle is hazy at best, darkly overcast at worst. The skies really only clear over the coast and plains.
Humidity is very high all year in the rainforest; but does drop in the cooler months in other areas.
The calendar used above is a thirteen month lunar calendar of the Eldar, used in Taaliraan and Koronande. The Mûmakani and Haradrim use a system similar in structure, but the months, of course, have different names. Each month has twenty-eight days (four weeks of seven days each) corresponding to the phases of the moon. The first of each month is a new moon. There is one day, after the 28th of Ringarë and before the first of Valimë, which is New Year’s, and corrects the calendar. Every four years there are two such days.
