Update (That didn't take long):

"Daddy, why is it always raining when we talk to our friends outside?"

Point well noted. I remember being in Shadowbringers, lakeland. At a cafe with Thancred..and..maybe Y'shtola. Enjoying our pancakes or whatever in the absolute POURING RAIN.

Further Suggestions: Turn off weather effects in cutscenes, and force the time to be something sensible.
