For many people, their lives revolve around the weather. A harsh drought could mean the end for farmers, an unexpected storm is the bane of all sailors and travellers, and a flood could be disastrous for miners or those on the flatlands. While combating and preventing the harsh weather may seem impossible, predicting and guiding it is not. A weather witch is an indispensable boon for many communities, with their abilities to predict the oncoming disasters. That, and the simpler things in life, like letting people know whether or not the sun will shine on their picnic.
Some weather witches keep to themselves, only speaking to others to report extreme dangers, while others blend in with their communities, and may even be revered for their work. Whatever the case, there are things that all weather witches know.

You spend most of your life looking to the sky. As such, you are able to see subtle signs of wrongness in the air above. You find it easier to spot issues such as smoke signals, birds fleeing certain areas, unnatural approaching fog or clouds, and similar disturbances above the horizon. When making others attentive of these details, you are easily able to point them out to others, no matter whether or not they would have spotted them normally.

The weather witches who take to travelling by sea or sky have the same job, but will have learned to work in different ways, and with small communities. You will have seen more of the world, and your specialities reflect that.
When you need to, you can secure free passage on a sailing ship, blimp, sky-ship or other method of landless travel for yourself and your adventuring companions. You might travel a route that you've already taken, or with someone you've ridden with before, but a weather witch is useful to all but the most magic-hating of travellers. You can't be certain of a schedule or route that will meet your every need, and in return for your free passage, you and your companions are expected to assist however necessary during the journey.
