Mad Monkey Fever ~ A magical mist creeps through the jungles o f Chult. Contact with this thin, blue, odorless mist can infect giants and humanoids with mad monkey fever.

Strong Wind A strong wind imposes disadvantage on ranged weapon attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing. A strong wind also extinguishes open flames, disperses fog, and makes flying by nonmagical means nearly impossible. A flying creature in a strong wind must land at the end of its turn or fall. A strong wind in a desert can create a sandstorm that imposes disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Heavy Rain Everything within an area of heavy rain or heavy snowfall is lightly obscured, and creature in the area have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or sight. Visibility in heavy rain is limited to 90 yards (50 yards in Chultan rain). Beyond that distance, only Huge or larger objects can be distinguished. Missile weapon ranges are halved during rain. Heavy rain also extinguishes open flames. On days that receive heacy rain, there's a 25 percent chances of a full blown tropical storm featuring sheets of rain, high wind, lighting, tall waves at sea, and immense surf along the coast. Guides who know the conditions in Chult reccommend hunkering down and staying put on these days. Travel by canoe is impossible. If characters insist on traveling by foot, every character gains I level of exhaustion automatically and must make a successful DC 10 Constitution check or gain another. Skill checks to avoid becoming lost are made with disadvantage on storm days. Storm days are considered to have strong wind.

Food and Starvation A character needs one pound of food per day and can make food last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating a half a pound of food in a day counts as half a day without food. A character can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modifier (min. 1). At the end of each day beyond that limit, a character automatically suffers one level of exhaustion. A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero.

Water and Dehydration A character needs one gallon of water per day, or two gallons per day if the weather is hot. A character who drinks only half that much water must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. The saving throw is made with disadvantage if the character is wearing medium or heavy armor, or heavy clothing. Characters traveling at a fast pace instead of a normal or slow pace, take a -5 penalty on their saving throw. A character with access to even less water automatically suffers one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. If the character already has one or more levels of exhaustion, the character takes two levels in either case. Characters traveling with beasts of burden and other animals must keep them fed and hydrated as well. Dinosaurs and other creatures native to Chult can forage for food and drink as long as they are in their native habitat.
