Weather frequently affects the outcome of battles. Rainstorms, blizzards, extreme cold, sandstorms, etc. can have a big impact on strategy; it can be used to great effect by the better-prepared force — or everyone can get screwed over by it. "And then everybody on the temporarily victorious side suffered exposure" is a common form of Pyrrhic Victory. (It's also a quick summary of Russian military history.) In video games, these conditions are likely to apply movement penalties and reduced visibility. For extreme weather, it may damage and even kill units. In other media, and perhaps even more commonly in real life, it shows up in more complicated and often painful ways. Because it's such a common trope, there are a boatload of sub-tropes and related tropes. Winter Warfare is perhaps the most common manifestation of this. See also: Fog of War: for visibility-reducing conditions. Weather-Control Machine: for devices and techniques used in manipulating the weather for this. Weather Manipulation: for people with superpower used in manipulating the weather for this. Battle in the Rain: for more than atmospherics. Geo Effects: for other environmental impacts. Weather Saves the Day: when a sudden change in the weather saves the heroes. Protection from the Elements: for defenses against the weather. |

Worm: One of the three Endbringers, Leviathan (who has hydrokinesis), causes torrential rains every time it attacks a city. Not only does it cause the defenders heavy problem as they have to deal with the floods that come, it can also use the rain to track down any threats. | |

Advanced Strategic Command has wind and weather status. Some units (mostly planes) are killed if the wind is too strong and they aren't hidden in a hangar or transport unit. Snow changes the terrain and can affect unit movement. Also, paths suffer from bad weather, while proper roads — more costly to build — don't. Output of solar and wind powerplants depends on the weather. | |

Company of Heroes 2, taking place on the Eastern Front, has maps with alternate winter versions. In winter, water will freeze to be traversed by infantry and vehicles (and potentially broken through to the misfortune on those on it), some areas will have deep snow that slows units going through it, infantry caught in the wind blowing to the right without the environment to cover them will get colder causing movement and combat penalties at it worsens up to slowly killing them from exposure, and fires appear around some strategic points while also being buildable for infantry to warm themselves by. Temporary blizzards can also happen in winter maps, greatly worsening the effects of the winter wind to infantry, letting infantry be camouflaged in deep snow, greatly reducing all units' ability to see, and preventing many forms of off-map fire-support call-ins from being utilized. | |

The Belgariad: The Murgos use a literal Fog of War to hide their troops. In The Mallorean, Belgarion causes a lightning storm to start solely to make himself look more impressive to stop an Arend army. The storm sends Belgarath and his Brother Beldin running around the world for six months, dealing with the fallout. Belgarion gets quite the earful when Belgarath gets done. In Belgarath the Sorcerer, during a historical battle, the enemy army sends a dust storm at them. The good guys break off a piece and send it down a nearby river and back, dropping a water spout to settle the dust. |

The weather and its effects can range from logical (Rain makes everyone more susceptible to ice and electricity, Blizzard has a chance of inflicting Freeze, Thunderstorm casts Thunder and Thunderbolt spells at random targets) to utterly bizarre (Cherry Blossom provides extra turns, Energy gives offensive buffs, and ??—[[/@#,, hides everyone's stats). | |

Final Fantasy XII: Certain areas have weather and/or terrain affecting the effectiveness of attacks, usually elemental magic. Rain, for example, will amplify water magick, while cloudy weather will amplify wind magick. Some enemies may have "Ignore Weather & Landscape" ability, which means they are unaffected by environmental conditions. There is also Mist, which can even appear indoors and increases magick power and the rate of MP regeneration by walking. | |

Endless Legend has heavy winters which occur semi-regularly (and their length increases as the game goes on due to the planet's climate collapsing); Winter start out causing units to move 50% slower and have their vision radius reduced by one hex, and cities produce 50% of their normal food output, with the winters growing worse every season. The Roving Clans suffer even more, as their thin tent-based cities must burn Dust during winter to stay warm. However, Heroes assigned to armies or cities can reduce the penalties from winter. | |

Rain and bright sunlight will change the effectiveness of fire and water-typed moves, whereas Sandstorm and Hail (introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire) will deal damage to all Pokemon on the field every turn unless they're a type that resists it or have an ability that gives immunity to it.

Words of Radiance: When the Parshendi get really desperate, they decide to use the rediscovered stormform to summon an unexpected highstorm against the Alethi. Highstorms are massive hurricanes that travel from east to west across the entire continent; if summoned at the right time, the Alethi would be annihilated. However, the Parshendi are worried that stormform would open them up to possession by their gods, and are hesitant to use it. They're right. Eshonai becomes the first new Voidbringers, and despite her best efforts, turns the rest of her people into Voidbringers as well. They then summon the Everstorm, a highstorm filled with the power of Odium and blowing the wrong way, from west to east. | |

The Kaskade Region is a fan-made Pokémon generation that heavily expands on the weather mechanics of the original games, introducing an effect for each Pokémon type. Weather effects are divided in three categories (climate effects, irritants that fill the air, and energy auras); only one effect from each category can be active at the same time, but multiple effects from different categories can co-exist. Then there's the special "Strong Winds" effect, connected to Flying-type Pokémon: activating it will wipe out all pre-existing weather effects, but any effect applied after Strong Winds' activation will be temporarily boosted. | |

Watership Down: The storm breaks just at the right time to stop the rabbits escaping from Efrafa from being annihilated by General Woundwort and his Owsla. It's even implied this is due to supernatural causes. However the storm also hampers the escapees, whereas the more disciplined Efrafan Owsla rally and nearly prevent the escape. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The hint is in the name of the series: we are dealing with a world of some seriously messed-up seasons that mainly hit one continent of it (one other, at least, does get much more mildly affected — but, it's to nowhere near the same degree). And, if that wasn't enough, there are always the words of House Stark: Winter Is Coming. When it does arrive in Westeros, of course people will try to fight in it. For the Others, another Long Winter is both a weapon and their home-field advantage in one package. | |

High windspeeds improve the performance of wind-power generators in Total Annihilation. At least two separate planets and one of the moons you fight on also have meteor showers. Which can trigger units that would otherwise not have attacked yet, or destroy resource collectors. Fortunately, it's an equal opportunity damage maker, hitting player and AI alike. |

The Touhou Project Fighting Games, starting with Touhou Hisouten ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, has a mechanic where weather would change during a match, creating different effects. For example, Typhoon removes flinching and blocking, River Mist makes the distance between players go wonky, and Scorching Sun damages any player who flies too high. | |

Game of Thrones: The Night King uses his magic to send a blizzard towards the Wildling camp at Hardhome, through which his army of wights attack. When Joffrey argues that they should subjugate the North in Season 1, Cersei points out that not even the gods will save their army from winter. |

The Reynard Cycle: In The Baron of Maleperduys, Bruin mentions that it is raining the same way that it did before a battle he fought in, reminiscing that the soggy terrain bogged down the heavy cavalry. He personally witnessed one of the chevalier (knight-equivalents) drown in a pool of water. Sure enough, soft ground and a swollen river play a big role during the Battle of the Samara. | |

At the climax of Saga of the Jomsvikings, the Jomsvikings under Sigvaldi are fighting a naval battle against Jarl Hakon and his Norwegians, and it looks like the Jomsvikings are going to win. During a lull in the battle, Jarl Hakon sacrifices to the goddesses Thorgerd and Irpa and calls on them for victory. When the battle resumes, suddenly the sky casts over and a storm with thunder, lightning and heavy fall of hail arises. The wind is blowing into the faces of the Jomsvikings and is so strong so "that they could hardly stand up" and all their missiles are turned back on them "to join the shower of missiles from their enemies". Initially the Jomsvikings continue to fight as before, but when the storm gets even stronger after a while, Sigvaldi orders a retreat. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The battle of Skalathrax took place between the World Eaters and the Emperor's Children legions of Chaos Space Marines on a Daemon World. The battle was interrupted by a blizzard so severe it caused the Super Soldiers to take cover. Kharn the Betrayer of the World Eaters did not like this one bit and proceeded to, on his own, burn both the World Eaters and the Emperor's Children out of their cover, breaking the ranks of both legions so severely that neither has fought as a united force in nearly 10,000 years (and earning him his nickname). The Space Wolves have their own psychic powers which manifest mostly as causing vast wintry storms no matter the planet or the climate. The High Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller not only has all six of them (regular rune priests are limited to two), he has a permanent storm brewing around him that gets worse the longer the game goes on until every enemy in range is getting targeted by lightning strikes every turn. |

Warhammer: Kislev is protected by its leader Tzarina Katarin, who can call upon a massive blizzard against any army that dares invade Kislev. Most of the Chaos Hordes tend to avoid attacking Kislev directly unless their armies are large and powerful enough to survive one. | |

Invoked by the sea goddess Calypso in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End at the ending battle between the pirates and the East India Company. The pirates release her hoping she'll aid them in the fight, but since she has good reason to hate both sides- the pirates' predecessors imprisoned her in the first place, and on the EIC's side Davy Jones betrayed her- she creates a tremendous storm and maelstrom between the two fleets. | |

Any Total War game. Rain and wind affect the accuracy of arrows; soldiers from northern climes fight better in snow; storms at sea can completely wreck an invasion. Rain is a particular problem for games that take place in eras with black powder firearms, as they can hinder the time between gun volleys or in some cases prevent guns from firing altogether. | |

In the Warlords Battlecry series, various races get various bonuses and penalties depending on the weather and time of day. Most evil races like to fight at night or in the rain (or both, e.g. the undead), while most good races like to fight during the day or with clear skies. | |

Star Wars Rebels: In "Relics of the Old Republic", our heroes and some retired clone troopers in an obsolete AT-TE walking tank find themselves up against three Imperial AT-AT's. They retreat into a sandstorm which knocks out both their sensors and those of the Imperials; however they have the advantage of having a Jedi and his Padawan on board, who can navigate and aim their guns using the Force. | |

Infamous 2 has one mission featuring a nasty looking thunderstorm overhead. This is fortuitous for a player character who can absorb electricity to power his abilities. In fact, it uniquely allows the the player to recharge their super move ammo as well, turning a late game mission full of high level enemies into a Curb-Stomp Battle. | |

Each faction in Brütal Legend has a guitar solo that temporarily affects the sky above the battlefield: Ironheade's Light of Dawn cancels all enemy buffs and debuffs, the Drowning Doom's Encompassing Gloom stops the enemy from producing new units, and the Tainted Coil's Skies Afire causes friendly units to inflict more damage when they're close to their own stage. | |
