Weather in dreams?

I used to dream of tornadoes constantly. It started when I was a kid. But, it stopped recently.

Are there any weather effects in a dream?

I thought back over my dreams I have recorded, and they have never had weather in them. They have sometimes had snow on the ground or grey skies, but it was never snowing or raining.

No matter where I was, it never snowed, rained, hailed, or was sunny or windy, or even cold or hot.
Why is this? And more importantly, is there a way in which we can use this in our reality checking?

That is of course it isn't just my dreams that lack weather.

... So I'm flying along over water at very high speed, minding my own lucid business, when suddenly I decide on a whim to roll over and check out the sky -- clear, blue, and not a cloud in sight. And then I impulsively jump from scene to scene of the long LD I was in, to observe the weather in each -- sunny here, gray there, a listed misty in this one. Finally I go back to my zipping over the water, in pursuit of my planned goal this morning, wondering why I stopped to check out all that weather. When I awake I remembered this thread. Day residue is a helluva thing!

Aw brilliant! So I helped you out to do something pretty cool then in an LD? Not bad.
