In a hurricane, you could have 3 weeks of nasty winds/waves, hit the eye, have a few days of nice, calm weather, and then as soon as the storm wall catches up with you, back to another 3 weeks of being bounced and tossed around.
I also have not taken much issue with the way the weather is modelled in the stock game, it does the job well enough.
Yep, I've been using the stock file for awhile now with no complaints. Blair's books mention the same; weeks of continuous stormy weather in all years of the war.
