More or less, your success in hunting this weather boils down to your level of commitment (or lack of commitment) to track it.
But how much of a commitment should one really have to make for a non-legendary class weapon? Yes a handful of these weapons are very powerful, and many of them are not. Yet apparently we all must become virtual meteorologists in order to have a chance at making one (good weapon or not) via farming. You're saying it looks as though fire weather is more common than we suspected, but that's not saying much. If it were twice as common it would still be far behind the others. It's not like people aren't checking the forecasts at all. I do even if I'm going for what's generally common weather.

Still, and maybe I'm a little extreme on this, I don't believe in content (other than holiday specific events) that requires one to log-in during a specific window of time to have a chance to get it done. I think that's one of the worst ideas ever to come out of MMO design. But, obviously we have such content and we always will, so I would ask that SE at least try to minimize it by having more windows of opportunity available so I can choose one that fits my schedule rather than having to work my life around the game's schedule.
