Whether you're a fresh academic studying the natural patterns and movements of weather phenomenons, or a careless and adventurous weather chaser, you have a keen understanding of the world's natural climate. Your interest in the natural elements may be strange to some, but the concept of predicting weather patterns and formations of various kinds is comforting, more so than people on occasion.
Choose a type of strange weather phenomenon. Was it a whirlwind tornado that passed by your town in a matter of moments, or was it astorm that lasted for too many days and nights? Was it some form of natural arcane force that coincided with a dangerous weather event? This event awakened some sort of innate curiosity in you, and changed your path in life to try and understanding these strange forces of nature. Maybe you were a simple farmer, who found an unpredictability in it that you could not find in your day to day life? Or you were of a scientific mind, and had not found your true calling until you sought to unravel the secrets and raw power of a thunderstorm.

Being involved in the chaotic nature of the weather, you have gained either a learned or innate ability to predict specific elements as it changes. You always know what time of day it is, even when the sky is not immediately visible. You are also able to predict when a change in weather is coming up to one hour before it appears, if you are within 1 mile of where the change will occur.
You also have an affinity for a specific type of weather event, be it thunderstorms, blizzards, hurricanes or even heatwaves. You feel a sort of connection to this force of nature, and have gained some form of knowledge on it either studied or spiritually. This event may have caused a tragedy in your life, or might even have granted you some sort of power when caught in the maelstrom. Choose a type of weather event. When making Survival checks to predict or traverse your specific type of weather, you have advantage.
Suggested Characteristics
