Not sure how common/uncommon it is to get dreams about weather as a weather enthusiast (which I'm sure most people on a forum like this would be...).
But I get dreams featuring weather I find interesting, but especially rare in my location, quite a lot. They can be very vivid. One thing that features a lot is thunderstorms as they are way too rare where I live. Such dreams are generally comprehensive and detailed, almost lucid dreams. For example, the other night I had a dream that there was a large thunderstorm building overhead, then hail started falling from the clouds and covering the ground. There was loud thunder and CG lightning after this. Then a small tornado formed at the back edge of the clouds, and went down the street, ripping out trees which fell over. Inside the lobby of a building the glass windowed door was banging open and shut with the glass breaking and I also saw a man who was holding onto the doorway to stop getting blown away who had blood all over his face.
In such dreams I tend to reach for my camera or phone camera and try to record what's going on (like a tornado), but for some reason the thing malfunctions and I can't record it, or something else goes wrong.
One of the more bizarre weather dreams was when a sugar factory blew up, and along with the general atmospheric conditions caused a pyrocumulonimbus cloud to form in the dead of winter, with "sugar snow" falling complete with thunder and lightning. Many thunderstorm related dreams also feature beautiful sunsets with pink or purple lightning.
Sometimes they can be very mundane. For example, in winter one year I simply had a dream it was 25°C and sunny, just because I wanted warm weather.
And even though I don't particularly like it, or cold weather, snow cover sometimes features in dreams, usually depressing ones.

I've had a recurring tornado dream a few times now. It goes like this:
I'm standing in a room in my family's house in Missouri, looking out a window. The window overlooks a steep, grassy downward slope, beyond which is deciduous forest that appears to extend to the horizon. (This is true to life). The trees don't have leaves, and it has a general wintry look. Above is a flat grey cloudy sky, from which a funnel cloud is slowly descending, even though the appearance of the clouds is not at all consistent with a tornadic storm, or any kind of storm at all. As the tornado slowly descends, I am completely transfixed, even though I don't completely want to be. There is something pulling at my mind, but I can't quite tell what it is. I am still, but I am not at ease. There is a vague sense of danger, but I can't quite identify it, even though I know very well that what I'm watching is a tornado, and the dangers thereof.
The tornado eventually reaches the ground, at which point I am suddenly and instantly filled with absolute, total panic, and take off running. I run out of the room, down a long hallway (which does not exist in real life), and just as I reach the end of the hallway, I wake up.

Yeah I get dreams about weather too, but I don't remember dreams frequently, so I only remember a couple weather related dreams.
I used to fear the weather like most little kids, and I remember a particularly horrible dream that a tornado hit my house. This dream occurred just a few days after Hurricane Sandy, so severe weather was definitely on my mind a lot back then.
I've had plenty of dreams with good weather too though, like a recent one where it was during a heat wave and I slept thru my friends going to the beach, so I was sad not to be at the beach, but I was happy that it was really hot and I got to experience the full strength of the heat wave, because I was not at the milder beach.
One recurring weather condition in my dreams is hail, because I actually was woken up by a hailstorm in October 2010 and remember my dad showing me the pellets of hail he collected from outside, and for a few years after that actual memory I remember having hail-related dreams pretty often.

More thunderstorm dreams last night. I must be a t-storm addict. Last night's "storms" were really photogenic scattered CB's around the evening twilight with really good structure. Looked a bit like high based CB's you'd see in Arizona or such like in the monsoon season. One of the CB's looked almost exactly like this:  |

WARNINGI am NOT a very good artist, so this is just a quick 5 minute sketch of a couple of "dream thunderstorm" scenes done in paint. In actuality the scenes were far more detailed than these incredibly basic representations, but it gives some idea of the scene. The first was earlier in the evening, there seemed to be a high layer of cloud, with the CB towers visible below and rising to that level, with blue lightning coming out. But the lightning actually looked realistic, not that crummy colour as in "paint" but that was the only way to make it look contrasting enough. The sun must have been behind these clouds as they were dark silhouettes. The second scene below was an isolated CB after sunset more or less with just a bit of orange glow near the bottom and the top looking more white still getting some sun presumably. Like I said a very very very basic sketch LOL

I have a reoccurring where I’m driving on an a completely barren plain and there’s tornadoes everywhere, like I can see 5+ from the car. I’m the only one on the highway and there’s no sign of any human activity besides the road. The dream consists of me switching onto different roads too avoid the tornadoes but more and more keep popping up. Happens at least once a month I’d say.

I don't remember most of my dreams so I can't contribute much. I like reading them, so please keep sharing.
Sometimes it's snowing or raining or something, usually weather is not a factor. The main weather feature I remember is tornadoes. I've had a dream many times where a tornado forms and I'm just staring at it out the window. Sometimes it comes towards me but I never stay in the dream long enough for it to reach me.

I once had a dream where it was 30F in Los Angeles in June. I had a dream it was 3°C in July during the daytime in Buxton, Derbyshire (a cold high altitude town I lived in years ago). Probably not impossible though.. |

Not too long ago (don't remember exactly when, but gotta be last summer), I had a dream about an extreme heatwave wherein all-time record highs were smashed across the entire eastern seaboard thanks to a record-breaking heat dome with temps pushing into 110s F in much of the Carolinas, and then when the heatwave broke down ahead of a cold front, extreme atmospheric instability developed making for destructive thunderstorms that caused significant damage to many places with lots of fallen trees in here.

Didn’t experience any actual weather in my dreams, but I once dreamt that snow appeared in the weather forecast here. The maximums were predicted to be in the low single Cs for several days from what I remember. I was shocked at how strong the cold blast was set to be and excitedly told everybody we would finally get snow. Then I woke up and never found out if that forecast eventuated.

Sounds like you were tapping into an alternate-universe Melbourne. |

Legit had a dream few days ago that I actually got a decent snowfall. Then I woke up and realized it was only a dream.

Was having a fucked up dream that I was having a visit of a tough jail where I was being made to do menial activities like an actual prisoner with a big prison staff member hounding me over everything and if I fucked up he screamed and yelled and told me he wished he could have me there for real, doing endless time and getting fucked in the ass by people as big as and bigger than him. Anyway I won't go into more details about that as it was grim as fuck and makes me glad real jails these days aren't as bad. I was able to go for a lunch break seeing I was "just visiting", and when I went outside it was very humid and warm, with immense black gloomy clouds, followed by a sudden and violent downpour of torrential rain blowing about in the wind and bouncing off everything. There was thunder too but only a few rumbles. Then I had to go "back to jail" to complete my jail experience day, and the sky was brightening up by this point, though still cloudy, but no longer raining, and thunder could still be heard. There was that "Mammatus" cloud feature visible in the higher, brighter clouds (under the anvil area), then I got back to jail, to continue my authentic jail-day experience. Mammatus clouds like the one in the dream: weather.com/sports-recreation/news/sky-watching-mammatus-20130227 |

Shit I legit had a dream this morning where I was driving down my road here and there was a catastrophic tornado moving by harmlessly. The sky looked awesome. Temp/dew were probably around 80/70F.  |

I had a dream that there was an extremely localised rainstorm directly and only overhead one man's house, and the rain was flooding his entire house until it completely collapsed.

The recent/ongoing heat wave at my actual location was exaggerated in a recent dream of mine, in which it was over 70 F (21 C) on my birthday this past Thursday.
