What effect did the weather and terrain have on the outcome of D-Day?
Teh weather made it impossible to attack the beaches on the original date Eisnehower wanted, the tide and moon had to be just right, and the terrain was flat on the beach, however, the Germans empalcements were all on top of cliffs so they had a vantage point that affected the original attack.
This is not exactly phrased as a question. The Normandy Invastion on June 6, 1944 was conducted by the Allies in a mission originally called Operation Overlord. It was renamed but this code name stuck and became popular. Hitler was thrilled when the allies arrived even though they did not come to Calais as he figured they would. It ended up being an invasion that defeated Hitler in the end.

The first VE Day in 1945 was wild. In Europe, UK, the US and in Australia/New Zealand they were dancing in the streets. Strangers kissed each other. Musicians played music. Food was brought out of storage (they had saved it up from their rations) and they ate till they hurt. They cheered and cried. Some places, like the US, started up sport games to play until dark. It went on for days. When VJ day came it was even bigger because the war was officially over around the world. Hundreds of thousands came to see the King, Winston Churchill and in the US they came to see Truman and US leaders. The streets were absolutely jammed.
