With the uncanny ability of weather prediction, some witches are born. Maybe this is a trained technique as well, but there are some natural witches who will look at the clouds and know when a storm is approaching (in the sky before a cloud is visible!) Some know when before observing the forecast it will snow. It's like they can sense it in their bones and have a profound connection to the rhythms of the sky and weather. Any real witches are also capable of calling on the storm, snow, and light. The word "weather sorcery" or "weather witching" has been used to mean everything from weather divination and prophecy to real weather regulation and manipulation. Witches (and even those who do not believe themselves to be such) have long been concerned in weather sorcery, including calling up treacherous hurricanes to kill other people's crops when you remember that most forms of magic are based around agricultural history, it was deemed an invaluable ability to be able to influence and forecast the weather. After all, if the survival of your family relied on the success of your crops (or the ability to find water as it did in the case of my family), it would be an incredibly useful thing to know about weather magic.
This is the most common method of magic for the weather and has been practiced for hundreds of years. A witch may produce a soft breeze or a sharp blast of wind depending on the pitch and tone of the whistle. Traditionally, the alternative of making a 'wind whistle' out of willow or alder wood is available if the ability to whistle up a wind does not come easily to you. In order to create storms and carry rain, there are several different strategies. The technique used by my family is to fill a jug with water and pour the water into a basin or cup when sitting outside (or facing a window). Dip the tip of the pointer finger into the water and make five clockwise circles in the water slowly (this should be done instead-just above the water in the when you make the loops, the wind calls to put about a storm by blowing over the water in the basin (or whistling a steady low note-the sound of wind over the mouth of a glass bottle). Forms to Avert a Storm (Dispersing, Wrapping & Preventing)Dispersing or linking storms are the most common.
This strategy entails extending the storm over a wide area so that the impacts are diminished. You can scatter a storm by calling winds to blow it forward (or in a certain direction) or you can draw the low-pressure area heading away and dissipating this technique is often called 'rain trapping' which involves catching a storm and binding it inside an item (usually a bottle or knots) so that by taking out the cork or undoing the braid/knots, it can be released progressively at a later date. You'll have to take out the weather charts if you want to keep a storm from developing. All you need to do to create a weather chart is to print out a map of your immediate region or the area you are hoping to keep any use Google Maps and don't make the field too wide or you might magically strain yourself badly. You now have your own 'whiteboard' to draw weather indicators on to produce certain forms of localized weather. You just need to know how weather conditions operate and how they're going to travel in order to exercise this type of magic; learning a little bit about meteorologyFind out what the weather is supposed to be until you're ready and sketch it on your map. Now draw the rotating high/low-pressure systems so that there is no rain in the region you're trying to cover. It is also possible to use this approach to carry rain to a certain area.
