Well, what I was thinking was something along the lines of using an
area's position in the world to generate some base climate numbers...
with colder areas near the poles, higher humidity along coastlines, etc.
It's an oversimplification, but probably Good Enough for most uses. As
you said, tho, it's probably not to hard to just enter data manually for
each area.
