40d:Dry season
From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
(Redirected from Dry season)
During Autumn, you sometimes get the message "The dry season has come." During a dry season, your ponds dry up, even when they are larger than 1. There is also reduced rainfall. The grass tiles on the screen also changes into dry grass tiles, but that is purely cosmetic.
You only get a dry season if you build a fort in a region with a warm or hotter climate.
