The fundamental causes of weather are thus surface temperature, and to a lesser extent, elevation.
Weather does occur in the stratosphere and does affect weather lower down in the troposphere, but the exact mechanisms are poorly understood [1].
Because of the large effect that weather has on day-to-day life and due to the impossibility of any type of forecasting before the advent of modern technology, a large body of folklore aimed at trying to explain the weather has grown up, some of which is fairly accurate, most less so.

 Impersonal verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, an impersonal verb is a verb that cannot take a true subject, because it does not represent an action, occurrence, or state-of-being of any specific person, place, or thing.
An impersonal verb is different from a defective verb in that with an impersonal verb, only one possible syntactical subject is meaningful (either expressed or not), whereas with a defective verb, certain choices of subject might not grammatically possible, because the verb does not have a complete conjugation.
Some linguists consider the impersonal subject of weather verbs to be "dummy pronouns", while others interpret them differently.

Because both of these contradictory meanings are in use in Canada, confusion may arise if the verb 'table' is used outside of the strictly parliamentary context, where the first sense should be understood.
As a result, it is better to use a different verb altogether, such as 'present' or 'postpone' as the context requires.
In other cases, however, it might be wiser if the verb were shelved.

 OUPblog: Weathering the Weather in Word History
The shape of the word weather has changed little since it was first attested in the year 795.
weather means what it does in English and at first sight presupposes a good attitude toward “the condition of the atmosphere,” because with a negative prefix it means “bad weather”; cf.
Danish vejr “weather” and ovejr “unweather.”  Or is Slavic vedru a deceptive look-alike, unrelated to the Germanic word?  The origin of vedru is not quite clear.  If not akin to weather, it may be a cognate of water: Russian vedro, with stress on the second syllable, means “pail” and is undoubtedly related to water.

But the original question asked for the sense of the participle 'weathered' as in 'a weathered look' - this is a different sense of the word than the past tense of the verb 'weather' in your example...

The characters may have varied -- cowboys in Death Valley of the US Southwest desert or French Legionnaires in North Africa's Sahara Desert -- but the symbolism was the same: men dying of thirst chasing an image that only existed in their minds.
David K. Lynch and William Livingston in their book Color and Light in Nature suggest that there is no reason a "superior" lateral mirage could not form over a cold wall surrounded by warm air, but they had never seen one.
Therefore, I refer you to three books which can be used as guides on the subject of mirages (and a lot of other atmospheric optics topics as well) and another related volume.
