Ok, I opened up the a duplicate stock folder I keep. In the campaign folder, there are various ###.mis files and also in the patrol objectives folder, there are subfolder with various objectives files with the same format. If you open these with the mission editor, and check the mission tab and 'parameters' you have a dialog window with weather conditions, clouds, rain, fog, wind, and variations for all those, and also the change interval in hours (2 to 96).

This is the only thing I know of that we can use to manipulate weather selection/ changes. The odd thing I noticed in looking at several is that they all listed no changes and an interval of 5 hrs. Obviously, the weather does change at times, so maybe the most important factors are hard coded, with long-term weather (more than 96 hr. period) handled by the game in it's own way.
