Don't know that it's true, but I've also heard some complain that it stays perfect for weeks on end sometimes as well, so that seems the likely explanation.
Steve has got it right with the exception that if you save then exit and restart the save game you will most likely get the same weather for 3 or more days before the next "die roll". Therefore if you constantly save and restart the save before that die roll, you'll get the same weather for a looong time.
