Persona 4

In Persona 4, the 4 types of weather are sunny, cloudy, rain, and thunder. The weather in Inaba ties into the plot with the TV World and also the Calendar system. All dungeon deadlines are based on when there will be fog in Inaba. The protagonist can check the weather forecast by using the TV at the Dojima Residence. Rain and thunder are considered poor weather and while some activities will be unavailable on those days, other activities get bonuses due to poor weather such as the beef bowl challenge at Aiya. Additionally, there are various Shadows with rain in their name that only spawn in the TV World when it's raining in reality.

Persona 4 Golden

Golden adds snow as a new type of weather during the December to February portion of the game. Snow counts as normal weather and the player will be able to do regular activities. The exception to this is that while it's snowing, the player will be unable to catch bugs at the shrine or plant vegetables in the garden, but can now get random bugs from the snow pile on top of the garden.
