''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings: The Return of the King''



* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''
** At the beginning of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. After days of the land being covered in darkness because of clouds put out from Mount Doom by Sauron, a wind arrives from the West, as per the page quote. Could be DivineIntervention; this is hinted at but not stated.
** Foreshadowed a few pages earlier when Ghân-buri-Ghân says "Wind is changing!" and disappears into the bush. The wind [[spoiler:not only aided the charge of the Rohirrim by breaking up the Morgul-darkness, it literally brought redemption by bringing Aragorn's fleet to the battlefield in time to save the city]].
* In ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'', the deciding battle between Sun Chuan and Cao Cao's forces is decided by the weather at the Battle of Red Cliffs. [[spoiler: Cao Cao's navy attacks Sun Chuan's in a line formation with the wind in his sails. This is so that if Cao Cao's flagship catches on fire, the wind will blow the fire away from his other ships (also, Sun Chuan's navy is downwind). Liu Bei, however, has a friend who can change the weather, and his choice whether to intervene between the two warlords now or to wait means everything.]]
* In ''Literature/WatershipDown'', when the protagonists are escaping from Efrafra, a storm breaks at just the right time to confuse the pursuing forces and give Bigwig's crew the time they need. "Your storm, Thlayli-rah. Use it." However the more disciplined Efrafran rabbits are more able to rally and block their escape, so its effect is only a temporary diversion.

* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': The pictured example. The ending of ''The Great Water Balloon War'' reveals that the titular war was staged by Keene Milton, as a deliberately planned event to test out the efficiency of the water guns his company had been developing. While he gloats about this to Zach, Peanut, and Grape, he cries out that they couldn't stop the war if they had [[TemptingFate all the water in the neighborhood]]. Rain begins pouring in the next panel.

-->Sam: I don't know who's runnin' this show. I don't know why I was chosen. I bounce around from place to place. I do everything I'm supposed to do, at least the best way I can, but I don't know how to do this one. I mean, you gotta help me. I figure you owe me, for a couple of times, anyway. ''You'' make it rain. You hear me? '''You''' make it rain!

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'': In season 5, Nya and Ronin are surrounded by ghosts, whose only weakness is water. Just as all hope seems lost, it starts raining, causing the ghosts to flee. Nya considers it good luck, but Ronin points out that it's the middle of the dry season, so rain appearing at the exact moment they need it proves that Nya does have the water powers she's been struggling to unlock.
