Task 24: Describe the weather that occurs in your clan's territory.
The weather at Thornclan is predictable in that there are four distinct seasons: Newleaf, Greenleaf, Leaf-fall and Leaf-bare.
Newleaf and Leaf-fall both bring about rain. However, the rainy season is described as the point where Leaf-fall turns to Leaf-bare. It marks the point where the rivers rise and the camp needs to move dens to the ones on higher ground, instead of the dens that are accessible from the ground. This rain is more dangerous, unwelcoming in that it brings about an increase of deaths through flooding and disease. The Newleaf rain is described as a rebirth, when life is welcomed back into the ground as the grass grows tall and leafs begin to sprout from the branches that once lay bare.
The rain is a contrast to the droughts that occur during Greenleaf when the streams that trickle around camp dry out, leaving the cats having to drink from the river instead. During this time, cats have to be careful not to fall into the river in fear of being washed away downstream by the strong currents.
