Weather control
Weather control is a sub-category of Environmental control.
The person in this case is influencing the functions of the weather systems. The most common function to be invoked is that of making rain. In drought ridden countries, it was the most useful of the powers of any shaman and thus was the most frequently taught.
It is not unknown, however, for shamans to be able to invoke more violent forms of weather - storms, hurricanes and thunder and lightning in rather ostentatious displays of power, or in revenge for some perceived act by an adversary.
