Weather is set about 2 day cycle. If you reload a patrol, the weather 'timer' is reset back to zero and you will continue to get more of the same if you are in a steady state (non-transistional condition).

So those that reload a savegame to get the perfect one shot kill, are going to get weather that never changes....
I'm also tracking by what grid I'm in and the Date/Time of observation, so if I make it to October 43 I will have compiled 1 years worth of weather. We may be surprised or could find no relation what so ever to seasons/zones. As to reloading a saved game you are correct. For instance, if the weather changed on day one and you saved and exit around two game days later, then load that saved game, the weather will change around the 3rd day after you loaded so for that particular weather pattern the total would be 5-6 days game time being the same.
