I don't think you understand the question.

The reason people want weather effects to be toggleable is simple: they put more stress on the system, and disabling them would decrease lag for some people, myself included.

Like Brucey said, even if weather is going to play a more important role, simply looking at the weather icon would be enough to tell me what's going on, even if I can't see it. That wouldn't affect the gameplay at all.
