=== Climate ===
The weather around Luthadel generally is rather warm and dry. Heavy rainfalls can occur occasionally,{{book ref|mb1|15}} but they are not very common. Likewise, Luthadel rarely sees any snow,{{book ref|mb1|20}} or else it is just an icy slush.{{book ref|mb1|29}} Because the city is located quite far inland, strong winds or storms are unlikely.{{map ref|Final Empire}}
Luthadel could have heavy rainfalls.{{book ref|mb1|15}} <br>
Snow fell some winters, but not each year.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>
Snow wasn't common around Luthadel before the Deepness, or else it was just an icy slush.{{book ref|mb1|29}} <br>
Two winters ago—when we fought the koloss at Luthadel—was the first I’d seen snow in the Central Dominance, and this last winter was even worse.{{book ref|mb3|5}}
 
{{sidequote
Even noblemen and thieves reluctant about entering Mists. Ambient starlight diffused by Mists was enough to see most times.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
"A light ashfall had begun, and|... careless flakes floated down from the sky, like leaves dropped from some unseen tree."{{book ref|mb1|26}} <br>

|Description of an ashfall
At night, soft rain made no difference because of mist, as mist is wet.{{book ref|mb1|13}} <br>

Rain makes the mist pull away.{{book ref|mb1|14}} <br>

"The sun sank beneath the horizon, and while its light was still a flare in the west, the mists began to appear. They didn’t come from one specific place, they just sort of… grew. They extended like translucent, twisting vines in the sky—curling back and forth, lengthening, dancing, melding."{{book ref|mb1|17}} <br>
Contradictory to earlier: noblemen considered fear of mist to be a foolish skaa superstition.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>
Mist-grown lichen on stones.{{book ref|mb1|24}} <br>
"Outside, the sunlight was nearly gone, and diaphanous patches of mist were beginning to form in the air. They hung like ghosts, slowly growing larger, extending their influence as night approached."{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
 
The frequent ashfalls have a big impact on Scadrial's climate. To compensate for the planet being placed very close to the sun, seven Ashmounts fill the air with thick clouds of ash. These clouds block sunlight and so prevent the planet from becoming too warm to live. Most of the Ashmounts are located relatively close to Luthadel,{{map ref|Final Empire}} but as a side effect the fallen ash has to be carted and piled out of the city{{book ref|mb1|8}} or thrown in the River Channerel,{{book ref|mb1|2}} lest the city would get buried.{{book ref|mb1|2}} The ashfalls are not constant, they happen occasionally in a pattern that is similar to rainfalls. It is remarkably easy to wash ash out of clothes.{{book ref|mb1|20}}
Luthadel is located relatively close to most of the [[Ashmounts]].{{map ref|Final Empire}}
 
To prevent the city being buried, skaa workers gather the ash and throw it in the River Channerel.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Another unique weather phenomenon is Scadrial's mist. It is not present during daytime, but as soon as the sun sets the mist starts to appear out of nothing like ghosts, slowly growing larger and extending their influence.{{book ref|mb1|17}}{{book ref|mb1|27}} This mist shows some unnatural behavior, which is why there is a lot of superstition and fear surrounding the mist among skaa and nobles alike.{{book ref|mb1|5}} It looks like twisting vines in the sky curling back and forth, seeming to be somehow alive.{{book ref|mb1|17}} Ambient starlight diffused by mist was enough to see most nights.{{book ref|mb1|5}} As might be expected the mist is wet, even moist enough to let lichen to grow on stones,{{book ref|mb1|24}} and soft rain at night made no difference compared to the all-present mist.{{book ref|mb1|13}}
Sometimes ash from the city was carted and piled out of the city, instead of thrown in the river.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
Poisonous red (afternoon) sun.{{book ref|mb1|10}} <br>
Aftermath of ash rain was visible by small drifts and flurries of black blowing across the streets. Ash was surprisingly easy to wash out of clothes.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>
"A light ashfall had begun, and careless flakes floated down from the sky, like leaves dropped from some unseen tree."{{book ref|mb1|26}} <br>
"Ash fell from the sky, floating in lazily flakes."{{book ref|mb1|33}} <br>
