This is from the forum back in August (don't remember the author):

ok first of all the obligatory..i have no idea if this is implemented in any of the many super mods allready so ....lets not get into that area...suffice it to say that if it has allready been implemented then well done one and all...!!

this more or less completely resolves the two week storm trouble occasionaly experienced by most of us at some time or another..

i had noticed that it wasn't that the weather didn't actually change for two weeks game time..it was more a case of the weather changes being so minor that it hardly made any difference in game...

in the mission editor you will notice that for the weather you have the option of setting all weather changes to either minor or major...

setting all the options to major changes gives you tangible weather changes even during a protracted strom and vastly reduces the chances of a storm lasting any longer than a day or so...same with all other weather conditions..

here's the campaign.rnd weather section for major weather changes only
