It rains, it snows, it storms, it gets a bit foggy . . . it's all good.

Rain and snow will affect missile fire for the worse, plus give penalties (double fatigue cost) for Fire magic use. Flying units (aside from a unit Caelum can roll out) are grounded during storms. Fire-loving units are just generally do poorly in the rain. Abyssia ain't happy in a roaring thunderstorm!

Many summoned units could also fly in storms in Dom I - air elementals, spring hawks, storm demons, Queen of Air, sylphs, Pazuzu, not sure about draconians. Some of those units also got their stats increased when fighting in a storm.

I can't confirm yet whether any of those are changed in Dom II (except, come to think of it, I don't remember seeing Pazuzu in the blood magic spell list. Maybe he's one of the level 9 demon lords now?)
