After patroling through a solid 21 day storm
, I came here and read through 8 or 9 of the many SHIII-storm threads and I also found something similar to this.
Of course I can't find that post now (admittedly, I'm not as motivated), but IIRC, it said that there is a bug in the SHIII weather generator. It's supposed to change the weather in no more than 3 days, but if you save and reload, the timer gets reset to zero, hence seemingly endless storms.
Since that time I'll just ride through storms w/o saving until they change. I've never had a storm last longer that 3-4 days which is fine by me - it's the North Atlantic after all.

While I play GWX 3.0 (with another 15 mods piled on top of it), I have no idea how it was designed, so I'm strongly inclined to take your word on this. I'm going to have to try it out (something I've deliberately avoided until now). Software eh? How it really works, and how it's supposed to work!
