It may be only my impression, but I find that there seem to be seasonal periods in the game as well (and I don't use SH3 Commander for this, before anyone asks). If I start a patrol in August or September (Gale and Hurricane season) I will nearly always have bad weather for most of my patrol. Fall and Winter are usually bad, in Spring and early Summer I sometimes can go a whole patrol with sunny skies.

I wish something could be done with the fog too, I encounter fog in the game, but not under the right circumstances, you should be able to have very heavy fog when the seas are calmer and not heavier. I consider the heavy fog you get with 15m/s winds as the effects of drizzle and rain which also cuts down visibility.
