afaik there is no options\commands to change weather.
looks like it's hardcoded in the map files.

yep, weather is weather. No one controls that...that we know of anyway.

For the fog there is a mod to remove it. Search for "fog" in the workshops.

In vanilla, there is no code to change it.
Wildcard doesn't have the knowhow to program that. They can not even stop it raining inside our houses. This would easily be possible...Conan Exiles uses the same engine and there is no weather inside the house.

So in conclusion "There isn't a command and there wouldn't be a command. Reason: missing knowhow of wildcard".

The only form of "weather" that can be controlled via console commands is the volcano eruption on Ragnarok. There are mods that will remove fog for you however.

There are commands for SE as well.
cheat ce start_superheat
cheat ce start_sandstorm
cheat ce start_electricalstorm
Replace start with stop to end it.

Unfortunately there are no weather commands for The Island, hopefully soon.

Scorched Earth

admincheat ce start/stop_wave (cold or heat wave, they start randomly)

Are there any for the center? That's what I'm playing on and I hate when it rains randomly.

Update from 2018, since this wasn't clearly mapped out.

There are commands, as shown above, for controlling the weather in The Island, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, and Aberration.

The proper syntax for controlling the weather is:
admincheat ce [COMMAND]

Commands are as follows, copied from above:

The Island:
starttime, stoptime, heatwave, coldfront, makeitrain, fogitup

Scorched Earth
start_superheat, stop_superheat, start_sandstorm, stop_sandstorm, start_electricalstorm, stop_electricalstorm, start_rain, stop_rain

Ragnarok
"start rain", "stop rain", "start electricalstorm", "stop electricalstorm", "start sandstorm", "stop sandstorm", "start superheat", "stop superheat"

Aberration
startquake, stopquake"

I have tested the Ragnarok commands personally on a private server, they are working.
