Just a thought....and a pretty uneducated one at that!!.
It's tied to both wind speed and rain settings in one of the .cfg files - the real problem is that for some reason the devs decided to use the same trigger for the ability to use the deck guns, so if you change this setting to make the crew don their foul-weather gear at lower wind speed/rain levels, you also disable the deck gun at those lower settings. Even worse, the devs made the triggers for the deck gun and the flak guns the same, so not only can you not use your deck gun but you can't defend yourself with your flak guns, so teaking these settings to make your watch crew always wear their foul weather gear, while possible, comes with a pretty heavy penalty of disabling your guns

It's too bad the link between gun usage and clothes usage can't be broken, but nobody has been able to do it so far - probably hard coded into the game.
