How much does weather affect food production?

A lot, I'd say. When you hear about droughts, and look at the food production statistics, it's pretty intense.

God, not drought! I had only planned for the end of winter if there wasn't a drought. *watches as region starves.*

Well, if possible I would like an actual number. Like drought is 50% or something, also how much the good harvest expected helps.

I think a bad drought can be 50%, but I think there are different levels.

Why not just compare to your own numbers...?

I am not a lord but a banker, which yes gives me more numbers but I would prefer to get the numbers sooner than later as its on Dwilight so I am preparing for winter so I would prefer not to spend a lot of time figuring it out as it seems rather trivial.

I believe the question is "What is the value of the weather modifier W?"
After all it's a roleplaying game.

It varies widely and pretty much randomly, and each weather descriptor simply covers a broad range of W's value.

That it is.

You wouldn't happen to want to give the ranges? ;)
