As much as we all love weather, what does it do? The answer, weather makes it slightly darker outside.
To make weather more interesting, here are some proposed updates:
1:Rain is depressing, and makes you sleepy, so you should break blocks 20% slower in the rain, thus not actually hurting you, but encouraging you to stay at home, out of the rain. Note that this only affects you if you are outside.
2:Make lightning more common, thus making it more dangerous to be out in a thunder storm.
3:Any neutral mob other than pigs that gets hit by lightning should turn into a zombie, once again to add thunderstorm danger, and because this would give zombies a much needed power boost, spiders climb and pounce, skellies shoot, and creepers creep, zombies don't do any of those things.
Those are some of my suggestions to make weather slightly more impressive. If you have a comment feel free to post it, just don't say TL:DR,because I don't know what it means.

All of this should be in the game except for the pigs turning into zombies
try getting a little more into detail with what could happen to a pig or any friendly mob besides zombie
Like for example try any peaceful mob struck by lightning gets so charged up they turn hostile and will attack you though the effect of the lightning charge lasts bout 2 minutes
btw pigs would drop cooked pork from the whole lightning strike charge thing
Weather have more effects than you give it credits for... Rain will put out fires, it will make flowers and tail grass grow on grassy area. Rain will also prevent skeletons and zombies from dying in the day. Spiders also stay aggressive.
If a lightning hit a pig it becomes a zombie pigman. If a lightning hit a creeper it becomes a super creeper.
Many people install mods to either remove or nerf lightning in some ways. Because lightning is like a griefer and nobody like griefers. More lightning strikes ? Really ?
Now strong winds could be something impressive and somewhat cool. Going against a strong wind would be like walking against water flow. The wind would push you, the mobs and items.

Pigs already transform into zombie pig man when struck by lightning. Zombie pigman already drop cooked porkchops.
This idea is kind of meh. If I get slowed down when digging, it should only be if I am in direct contact with the rain.

About the slower mining... it make no sense at all...
I am often far underground and when I go back up I sometimes discover that it was raining at the surface. Why should my character should be "depressed" if it is not even aware that it is raining ?
About slower walking speed... that also make no sense at all...
People stuck under the rain actually tend to move faster and some even start running. The objective being to get out of the rain faster. I don't know anyone who actually move slower when it is raining on him or her.
Finally... why must my minecraft character be such an "Emo"... I personally don't care about the weather... Sure enough, I wont make it a point to go dancing outside just because it is raining. But rain wont have any effects on my mood. I go to work in bike every day. Be it sunny, rainy or a scary thunder storm of doom. I'm not made of chocolate. A little water wont harm me. So I really don't see why my character (my personal representation in the minecraft world) should be just a wuss.
Sorry, I don't seem to have made it clear that mining speed isn't decreased when in shelter, only outside. Movement speed isn't decreased, so that you wont get eaten by spiders. And walking speed isn't lowered, that was someone else's idea.

Yeah you might want to edit the OP and organize it a bit. If that's what you meant I'm fine with it.

My post was also aiming at Swatch's post. He suggested making rain slow down movement.
But seriously, I have been an admin for a public server for a while. Rain seem to be annoying enough as it is because 10 seconds of rain was enough for lot of people to start begging me to stop it. That even without all the disadvantages you are suggesting.
The mining speed honestly makes no sense whatsoever, and there would be nothing to do on a rainy day in minecraft except sit there and watch the walls.

First, walls are really cool
Second, The point of this is that it encourages you to stay indoors, or underground.

I agree... any rain effects (if any, not sure there should be) should happen only when you are actually outside in the rain.
