Yes there is. Open your Program Files/UbiSoft/Silent Hunter III/Data/Submarine folder. The top file of each folder should say NSS_Uboat7B or the equivalent for each boat. Open that file for each boat, and just a little way down you'll see a section labelled [Properties]. The last line of that section will say "StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]"
That means the max weather you can fire the gun is 7, and the max rain is 0.1. Change them to 11 and 0.4 and you'll be able to fire the gun in those conditions. Change them to 15 and 1 and you'll be able to fire the gun in a hurricane. The downside is that those numbers also control your watch crew's rain gear, so they'll be out in that hurricane in regular shirts.
Me, I use SH3 Commander and set the waves to x2. When it says 7 in my weather report the waves are washing over the deck and I don't want to send my boys to the gun.
And WELCOME ABOARD, both of you!
