It does make a bit silky though I agree. Would have been a better idea to ease the sightseeing requirements in my opinion.
the statistic on this site: http://en.ff14angler.com/spot/30301

says it rains 20% of all time in Eastern Thanalan. 15% Showers and 5% Rain, that's indeed quite ofter for a place called "Drybone" ^^
also 20% Fogs or Clouds, wich means only 60% of all time is actual sunny weather.

but yes, because the weather is tied to the sightseeing log and some fish, it's not so simple to change the weather patterns. it would affect some gameplay elements.
