Miro was the original author of the climate system, and I havn't used
it much, but I'll do my best to supplement the docs... mayhaps I'll
update them too later...  

$world is the top level world object, it should be the most
  authoritative source for most things in the world.  it defines
  the top level realm used in the world

The realm is defined as a descendant of $realm.  The setting
  weather-time can be referenced by other code, but should not be
  set manually, it is automatically set.

The weather-setting references a climate.  In this case
  $climate_taobh_thiar.  The climate defines the various seasons
  and the various weathers...

Do you have any specific q's/problems that can be addressed?
