weather deity

Sky-controlling divine being

A weather deity is a god or goddess associated with meteorological phenomena—rain, thunder, wind, storms, or sunshine.

Most mythological traditions feature such figures: Zeus hurling thunderbolts, Thor commanding storms, Tlaloc bringing rain.

Weather deities often rank among the most powerful in their pantheons, reflecting how deeply agricultural societies depended on favorable conditions.
