I personally agree with this connection of the weather
however I had not thought of any Star Trek or Star
Wars reference but something much older which I think
a brit like Rowling would think.

There are many legends of England which talk about how
the land is connected to the well being of the "king"
or some other figure like that. For instance in the
old stories of Percival, while the Fisher King was
wounded, the land also ailed in drought and famine.
When the Fisher King was healed by the Holy Grail, the
land flourished again. 

What is even MORE interesting is that in some of these
tales the reason why the "fisher king" character was
wounded in the first place was because of arrogance
anda  search for immortality and it is Percival (or
Parsifal or the innocent boy) who must in the end put
the ailing "fisher king" to rest by healing him with
the Holy Grail so that he may die a natural death.

Hello! Here is Lord Voldemort who has this role of the
"king" who denies death and is therefore mortally
wounded without dying. The land begins to die, what
with the droughts and all after Vol gets his body
back. Now you have the innocent boy, Harry, who will
be the one to cleanse Voldemort of the sin he's
created (and by doing so will he redeem Voldemort as
well as the "fisher king" is redeemed by Percival?),
which lets Voldemort die and the land be healed.

Anywho, there are enough allusions to English myth
going on not to ignore.
