Absolutely agree - weather was spectacular in STW, got kind of dull in MTW (though winter fights still were a treat) and is completely dull in RTW. Maybe it has something to do with all the animations that have to run smoothly on the battlefield, dunno, (not a tekkie by any means) but it's a big loss... atmosphere just isn't the same anymore.

In 1.2 I got some rain in N Europe and some sandstorms in the East. The rain was simply some lines popping in and out on the desktop. Sandstorms were some blur rotating in close-up. Seemed to be there just to block your view, not to make the game more tense.
