==Frequency==

The Everstorm typically moves at a much slower rate than highstorms, with an average speed about three times slower.{{wob ref|10221|JordanCon 2018|date=2018-4-20}} Kaladin notes that one has plenty of time to seek shelter after spotting the storm's arrival.{{book ref|sa3|77}} At these speeds, the Everstorm takes nearly three days to cross the mainland of Roshar. The Everstorm returns at fairly regular intervals of approximately nine days, seeming to circle the planet.{{book ref|sa3|35}} Though the recurrence is much more regular that of the highstorms, the time of arrival does fluxuate slightly, and precise predictions for the arrival time are sometimes inaccurate.{{book ref|sa3|77}} It is not yet clear whether the frequency of the Everstorm's arrival is affected by the time of the year or other variables. Odium appears to exert some measure of control over the Everstorm's speed. On the day of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], he caused the storm to arrive 4 days earlier than usual--crossing most of Roshar within a day--before stopping it in place until it dissipated at the end of the battle.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} The Everstorm seems to have resumed it's normal nine day cycle following these events.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
