** Snowstorms in the northern portion of the map can freeze players to death, render vehicles and factories inoperable, and limit your vision. They can also freeze lakes and rivers, allowing land-based troops to attack from unexpected angles.
** Rainstorms in the southern portion of the map make players muddy (increasing their encumbrance until they walk it off while inside a base) and limit the intel collection area of watchtowers.
** In general, the wind alters the landing site of artillery shells and reduces their general accuracy. You can check the wind by looking at the flags on any bunker, pillbox, or watchtower.

* The English defeat of the Spanish Armada (which was nicknamed "[[{{Irony}} the Invincible Armada]]" by the British) was initially a relatively standard fleet action between Men 'O War, with only two ships being sunk by enemy fire. What made it decisive was a powerful storm, dubbed " the Protestant Wind" by some, that swept through as the Spanish tried to regroup after the battle at Gravelines. The English merely returned to port, but the Spanish fleet was devastated -- 50 of their 130 ships did not return. With them, went any hope of invading England.
** One famous quote from Spanish king Phillip II after the battle was "I didn't send my ships to fight the elements". The Dutch (allies of the English), meanwhile, had medals struck with the inscription "''Flevit Jehovah et dissipati sunt''" -- "God blew, and they were scattered".
** As ships at the time were still relatively small and only capable of relatively slow speeds, and as the Spanish ones on the whole were much less manoeuverable than the English ones, many of the skirmishes and battles during the passage of the Armada through the English Channel were also significantly affected by tides and currents.

* ''Literature/WordsOfRadiance'' (second book of ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''): When the Parshendi get really desperate, they decide to use the rediscovered stormform to summon an unexpected [[HostileWeather highstorm]] against the Alethi. Highstorms are massive hurricanes that travel from east to west across the entire continent; if summoned at the right time, the Alethi would be annihilated. However, the Parshendi are worried that stormform would open them up to [[DemonicPossession possession by their gods]], and are hesitant to use it. [[spoiler:They're right. Eshonai becomes the first new [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Voidbringers]], and [[FightingFromTheInside despite her best efforts]], turns the rest of her people into Voidbringers as well. They then summon the Everstorm, a highstorm filled with the power of [[GodOfEvil Odium]] and blowing the wrong way, from west to east]].
