** {{Justified}} in ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'', where the sudden outburst of snowy weather in the middle of summer is explicitly caused by [[EmotionalPowers Elsa's fear of her own powers leading to]] PowerIncontinence. The worse Elsa's fear gets, the worse the weather gets. [[spoiler: Thankfully, it also works the other way around; when Elsa learns that despite all that's happened between them her sister Anna still loves her, she realizes "love will thaw" and is able to fully control her powers and reverse the curse of endless winter.]]
** Similarly {{Justified}} in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' - since Zeus controls the weather, his anger causes a massive thunderstorm.

* The sky in ''VideoGame/InFamous'' takes color depending on your karmic path. Good gives you a nice sunny day, evil results in RedSkyTakeWarning.

"Oh, yeah, man, you're right," Wisniewski says. He glances at a nearby Elder Shaman who isn't quite dead yet. She closes her eyes and chants.\\
Storm clouds fill the sky, roiling and churning. The landscape grows dark, illuminated only by near-constant flashes of lightning, as rain pours from the sky in improbably quantities.\\
"Much better," the Man says. "All right, you little commie, let's get to it."
* ''VideoGame/WorldInConflict'' multiplayer maps have a sort of Empathic Environment: if the match goes for too long (and ''especially'' after the teams exchanged a few nukes), all colors become dull and grayish, the clouds gather and the sunlight dims slightly.

* In ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'', a remake of the original ''VideoGame/HalfLife'', the level of light in the mission "Surface Tension" corresponds to how much control the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit has over the titular facility. Capping this off is the final surface sequence of the game in "Forget About Freeman!", where the HECU forces make their final retreat from the facility, leaving several marines stranded. This battle happens at sundown, symbolically representing the defeat of mankind
and the sunlight dims slightly.coming days where humanity and Earth will be at the mercy of the Xenians and, later on, [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 The Combine]].



* In ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'', all of the cutaway scenes when you haven't made a big enough katamari feature rain and thunder coming down as the dejected prince kneels before the King Of All Cosmos. Justified because, well, ''he's the King Of All Cosmos'', and in one of these sequences he even mentions that he's making it rain to make his speech about how disappointed he is in you more dramatic.
* Shing kicks off the second half (the actual plot) of ''VideoGame/TalesOfHearts'' with a somewhat justified HeroicBSOD, which only deepens when he meets the next MrExposition. The outside world is still fairly bright and sunny, but after Kohak snaps him out of it, another character tries to shoot him (long story). Shing uses his sword to deflect the projectile, and with a ''flash'', it flies into the distance, and right there, the game's heroic theme starts up, and the clouds part, [[CueTheSun revealing the sun]].
* ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' loves this trope. Going on War Battles? Welcome to an arid setting with gloomy and sinister weather! Fighting the fearsome leader of the Enemy Generals at the end of the game? You'll be met with a hurricane [[spoiler:which is even more violent, with [[BattleInTheRain rain pouring hard]] and strong DramaticWind, when fighting him in his unmasked version]]! Going on sinister-looking places for dates, such as the Ruins, the Catacombs, or the Sieger Cannons? Cue the lack of music and DramaticWind!
* Your final decision at the end of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' will influence the giant glowing globe behind the Illusive Man's office. If you choose Paragon, it's blue; if you choose Renegade, it's red.
* The sky is dark and overcast for the last few missions of ''VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar'', which looks odd because it's supposed to be about noon. Of course, this being a flight simulator, and the first mission of said sequence pitting you against an elite squadron, it's possible and almost expected for the player to fly above the clouds and witness a beautiful blue sky once more, right before you have to [[AirstrikeImpossible fly underground]].
* Played with in ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' FightingGame ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'', where characters begin manifesting localized weather that represents a poetic interpretation of their personality as a result of the incident.
* The very minute the Shadow Queen in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' is revived the entire world instantly becomes night, even above the clouds. Same thing happens with the Dark Star in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'', ominous blue/purple storm clouds form over the castle and a creepy fog descends over the battle field.
* In ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander'' it rains during the last mission in Haven City, combined with occasional flashes of thunder (which barely ever happens in-game). At the end of it, [[spoiler:Damas dies.]]
* ''VideoGame/LEGOHarryPotter Years 1-4 and 5-7'' each have a specific weather pattern for each year, matching their tone.



* In ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' the final colossus is fought dramatically during a [[BattleInTheRain raging storm,]] complete with infernal tornadoes in the background marking where you killed the other colossi. It's jarring as it starts and stops as you walk in and out of the colossus's stadium. {{Justified}} in-universe as it references the fact that the Forbidden Land is awakening from its timeless phase, thanks to the completion of the ritual.



* During a "dream" in ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', the more upset one character gets the more it rains, which risks washing away Mount Pudding.
* When you summon a [[OptionalBoss Wither]] In ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', the sky darkens and turns to a [[RedSkyTakeWarning redder shade]].



* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'':
*** When Link first sets out, it is literally a dark and stormy night. After stalling Agahnim by hiding Zelda, the weather becomes much clearer.
*** The Lost Woods is covered in some sort of mysterious fog (a recent phenomenon according to two nearby lumberjacks), but that fog immediately breaks after Link claims the Master Sword.
*** The Swamp of Evil is overcast, stormy and ominous when Link first arrives there. However, after using the Ether Medallion (which calls down lightning from the sky) to open Misery Mire, the weather is much more amicable. This is justified according to a nearby NPC, who states that the endless rain is the result of magic clouds, and only a stronger weather magic (i.e. the Ether Medallion) can blow them away.
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' it only tends to get cloudy and rainy when you visit a locale that's in a bad way, such as "Ingo" Ranch, Kakariko Village when the ghost from the well is loose, and the ruined Castle Town. Go anywhere near [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Ganondorf's Castle]] and it goes a step further by ''becoming permanently locked at midnight until you leave''.
* ''VideoGame/TheWitness'': The items in [[spoiler: the central lake]] will change and develop when certain tasks are completed, like turning on a laser or opening one of the vault doors.
* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'', when [[spoiler: Atreus falls critically ill]], the sky darkens and a thunderstorm kicks up suddenly. [[spoiler: The world is reacting to Atreus aka Loki being near death and a nod to the old games of the effects caused by the death of a Greek God.]]

* A classic episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'' "Rain King" had ''Series/TheXFiles'': "[[Recap/TheXFilesS06E08TheRainKing The Rain King]]" has Mulder and Scully investigating a swindler who claimed claims to be [[WeatherManipulation able to make it rain rain]] (and sold this skill to drought-struck communities). Soon enough, they discover that the man's ex-fiancée believes that she has a sort of antagonistic version of this trope in effect (the sky seemed to cry on her first wedding day, and the clouds laughed at her when she got divorced) and that is behind her ex-fiancée's apparent abilities. In fact, [[spoiler:she has a nerdy secret admirer who ''actually'' has this relationship with the weather, it reflected ''his'' moods when she married another man and when she finally left that guy. He had been affecting the weather for her ex's business out of guilt]].

* During the "Brief Lives" story arc, Creator/NeilGaiman's ''[[ComicBook/TheSandman Sandman]]'' series shows the protagonist being mopey after the end of his latest romance, and his kingdom -- the Dreaming -- responding to his mood by raining for weeks on end.

* In ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'', a remake of the original ''VideoGame/HalfLife'', the level of light in the mission "Surface Tension" corresponds to how much control the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit has over the titular facility. Capping this off is the final surface sequence of the game in "Forget About Freeman!", where the HECU forces make their final retreat from the facility, leaving several marines stranded. This battle happens at sundown, symbolically representing the defeat of mankind and the coming days where humanity and Earth will be at the mercy of the Xenians and, later on, [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 The Combine]].

And, when it's all over, the Empathic Environment responds with calm. The air stills and the clouds part...''at the same time''. [[CueTheSun The sun shines down]] as the people turn their faces up, and the rain stops just as the tears of joy start to flow. On a larger scale, the ill girl's case often worsens in the autumn as the leaves start to fall, and spring brings about courtship not only among birds but among humans.
