Its called pathetic Fallacy.
A fallacy of reason in suggesting that nonhuman phenomena act from
human feelings. In Harry's case the weather is mirroring his feeling.
Also the weather is a device that is used to create suspense. i.e. in
the morning starts of very sunny but has raid clouds in the distance
normally implies that the protagonist is going to get bad news or
something bad is going to happen.
The drought can be explained away by the fact that surrey is in the
South of England which normally has draught over the summer. Scotland
(Hogwarts)is in the very north of the island hence generally colder.
