You could look at the forecast for the day in the part of the world in which you are playing your game John. As for the weather being too benign, just give it a few days, or I don't know my North Derbyshire weather!

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
That was my intent but the crusing ground will be along the coast of Mediterranean Spain and while you get strong winds coming up through the Straights of Gibraltar or down the Toulouse gap or the Rhone they are relativly rare in May. I'm looking for weather that might mean a 2 deck ship has to keep her lower deck ports closed and so change the balance of a battle. In chase scenarios strong winds favour big ships, so a 62 or 74 could possibly catch a frigate, that sort of thing.Originally Posted by Bligh

Mind you with my rate of progress at the moment it will be next winter before I get it off the ground.

Another thought is were the weather conditions the same in the late 17/1800s?

Good point but I'm going to assume so otherwise I'll have to go for a standard weather table and roll dice.
Funny thing...
Environmental scientists use old logbooks from the British navy to see how the climate has changed. They were very detailed.
I had a feeling that there were some old records, and even tests done on ancient trees told quite a tale too.
