{{examples|Examples:}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Nami from ''[[One Piece]]'', even before she got her [[Weather Control Machine]], had such an intuitive understanding of the weather that she could use it offensively, avoiding storms to which others would fall prey.
Line 14:
*** The aforementioned 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 ''[[Dune]]'' a sandstorm not only disrupts almost any activity, but was used to exhaust [[Deflector Shields]] with tons of sand "bullets".
* In ''[[Sixteen Thirty Two1632|1635: The Eastern Front]]'', a heavy rainstorm completely ruins the USE's invasion of Poland, taking away its technological advantages and nearly getting the emperor killed in battle.
* In ''[[Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell]]'', Strange makes it rain so that the mud will hinder French cavalry.
* In ''[[Judas Unchained]]'', the Planet's Revenge is this [[Exaggerated Trope|taken to an extreme.]]
Line 32:
* Some military board games have weather rules, such as Avalon Hill's ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Russian_Campaign The Russian Campaign]'', which covers the [[World War 2]] Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. The rules depict the difficulties the German invaders had with "General Winter".
* ''[[Blood Bowl]]'' has weather rules. In most matches, the weather has no effect, but sometimes players can collapse in the heat, drop the slippery ball in the snow, or be blinded by the sunshine -- ''no matter which direction they're facing!''
* The ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' canon features a battle between the [[Ax Crazy|World Eaters]] and the [[Sense Freak|Emperor's Children]] legions of Chaos Space Marines which took place on a [[Genius Loci|Daemon World]]. The battle was interrupted by a blizzard so severe it caused the [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]] to take cover. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Kharn the Betrayer]] of the World Eaters did not like this one bit and proceeded to, ''[[One -Man Army|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.
