There are also records of hurricanes lasting up to 28 days so with the build up and aftermath it could be conceiveable to have nearly 50 days of bad weather albeit highly unusual:

Its the weather you can't change it.
Does the mere act of saving the game reset the counter? I was under the impression that it only happend if you loaded a saved game - or have I misunderstood it?

As for now I try to avoid exiting a patrol in crappy weather - but if the mere act of saving is enough I might have to deal with a lot of storms. (As for some reason the game has become somewhat unstable of late, and I tend to get a CTD a couple of times per night - hence frequent saves)
