Some weather conditions make certain weapons systems ineffective, or make it difficult or impossible to use them.
For instance, heavy rainstorms and high wind make the use of aircraft dangerous or impossible. In situations of storms or high winds, ground troops and armor may not have the advantage of close air support, recon, or long range attack capabilities that aircraft provide.
Fog makes line of sight weapon systems difficult to use.
Heavy seas make it difficult to engage shipboard weapons systems or to even keep watercraft on line to provide support.
The only weapon system that can truthfully operate in any weather conditions is the common foot soldier, infantry. Next to that are the Kings of Battle, Field Artillery, that can operate in nearly any conditions with the exception of electrical storms that make large metal pieces on open fields dangerous to use for those who man them.
In fact, the higher the technology, the greater limitations weather may place on weapons systems.
