I make some tests on the WeatherRndInterval variable. A use different numbers each time when i start new career (12 tests). I start each campaign 1 september 1939 in first flotilla in Kiel.
Everytime first weather changes have a place after 32h, second after another 33h, third 34h, fourth 35h...

Test raport:

I random save the game during tests.
Saving during patrol do not affect to weather changes, but after save and quit the game, when you load the patrol weather timer is reset (you must wait 32h before weather change)
example:
last weather change have a place 2:00am 5/09/1939 so another shut be (32h) 10:00am 6/09/1939. But when you save and exit, lets say 18:00 5/09/1939, weather changes will be 2:00am 7/09/1939.

WeatherRndInterval variable, I use numbers from -11 to 96.
Weather allways change after 32h, it's not dependant on the WeatherRndInterval value.
WeatherRndInterval < 0 weather do not change for lots of days (stay the same), only wind changes observed. For this value weather was allways rainy and foggy.
0<WeatherRndInterval<12 weather changes are most realistic (no hard weather changes)
WeatherRndInterval>12 drastic weather change everytime (from big storm to wind 0m/s, and again big storm).

I suppouse after tests, the WeatherRndInterval variable respond for:
"How many weather checks the weather will be the same. The biger value the less chance the weather stay the same in the next weather check (32h)."
And "Biger value of the WeatherRndInterval, the weather change more drastic"
