Ive always thought that weather was a really cool addition to the game, now i was thinking that maybe weather could be upgraded, or even added additional weather, or maybe more biome specific weather, here is a list of the things I've thought of:
Sand Storms: Only occurs in deserts, and VERY rarely on beaches, blinds the player to where you can only see a few blocks in front of you, with a loud wind sound, although it also has a very small chance of inflicting damage, also comes directionally so that if you are inside a house it does not affect you.
Spores: Only occurs in mushroom biomes, has particles in the air that are similar to the particles from mycelium, also causes mushrooms to appear in a rapid rate on any mycelium. (its not like there isn't already too many mushrooms in the mushroom biome)
Tornadoes/Dust bowls: occurs in deserts and plains, and rarely in extreme mountain biomes, Dusty particles would fill the air in a radius around the tornadoes/dust bowl. would be much larger radius in tornadoes. Tornadoes would be SO much more rare than dust bowls but they would be swirling things on the ground, dust bowls wouldn't really do much but maybe turn grass into dirt or remove leaves from trees. Tornadoes would be larger scale, it would wipe the leaves off of any tree it passes, turn any grass into dirt that it passes over in a wide radius, and sometimes turn dirt to sand and fling blocks around the ground. (i hate mods that literally make tornadoes destroy everything you've ever worked for so not too destructive)
Floods: only occurs in plains, swamp, and ocean biomes, the water level rises for a long period of time making water wash away everything in its path. (would rise too far so as to drown you, only one to five blocks high.
Overgrowth: Only occurs in jungle biomes, and rarely forest biomes, only occurs uncommonly during rain. The leaves that coat the ground in jungles regrows so as to cover up any open grass, doesn't cover up everything if it ends early.
Blizzard: Only occurs in tundra and taiga biomes, Its an intense snowstorm, you can only see a few blocks in front of you and instead of snow covering the ground, entire snow blocks cover the ground.
Famine/Drought: Occurs in every biome, lasts very long periods of time, Water levels in wells, oceans, and rivers goes down a bit, water blocks have a chance of disappearing, drying farmland, crops and sugar cane grows slower, animals drop less food, animals also have a lower chance of breeding, rare chance of animal and villager death, hunger bar drops faster, tall grass and flowers start popping out of the ground slowly, tall grass drops less seeds, saplings grow small and shrub-like, bonemeal produces small amounts of grass and no flowers.
Intensified/upgraded thunderstorms: Lightning is more likely to strike higher places, and also more likely to strike iron blocks, breaks glass panes in a certain radius when it strikes, also some storms produce more lightning than others and make the sky darker than others.
Seasons: Global wide change in color, weather occurrences, and various other things: Summer: Cactus and potatoes grow faster, famine/drought, and tornadoes are more common, rain, snow, and blizzards are less common, food bar drops slightly faster in direct sunlight. Spring: Tall grass has a chance of spawning, grass grows faster, sugar cane and carrots also grow faster, floods, Overgrowths, and rainstorms are more common, famine/drought, sandstorms, and tornadoes are less common. Winter: Snowstorms and blizzards occur in every biome, constant snowstorms and blizzards in taiga and tundra biomes, all water freezes over, even if covered UNLESS adjacent to glowstone, glowstone lamp, or a torch. Famine/Drought is more common, Overgrowth, Flood, and Spore are less common. Fall: All Crops grow faster, especially potatoes.
Full moon/No moon nights: mobs spawn at a faster rate and don't require as much darkness to spawn.
So these are all my ideas, tell me what you think, and please post your own ideas if you'd like to.

Internet for the me plz... ^
What?
Internet for the me plz... ^
Spores: Considering I've never actually found a legitimate mushroom biome I wouldn't know about this
Tornadoes: Yes! And it throws crap around that could kill you, and it makes you fly
Floods: Another yes, and it'd fill up even enclosed spaces, but only 1 blocks high, no matter how high the water outside is.
Overgrowth: Yes, but it should happen over a very long period of time (hours)
Blizzard: Meh
Famine/ drought: My favorite. They MUST add this.
Intensified Thunderstorms: No
Seasons: No
Full moon: Meh
Thanks for the complimented things and (insert "okay" meme) for bad ones.
Internet for the me plz... ^
Spores: No
Tornadoes: Ehhhh
Floods: Maybe.
Overgrowth: Yes.
Blizzard: Yes!
Famine/ drought: Good idea.
Intensified Thunderstorms: No.
Seasons: Yes.
Full moon: No.
Almost completely the opposite of what chickens was saying but yeah.
