it would give us something to useful to watch on TV in captains quarters!
Gas clouds, meteor showers, (comets?)
Randomly appearing anywhere in space.
This would require all pilots in space to keep an eye on their ships, and to remove it from the 'danger zone'
To counter this you can fit a Damage Control, which will reduce the damage taken by 90% but the rest of us will take anything between 1000-99000 damage throughout 1-20 minute period.
Main argument: Space in reality is far from safe, the surrounding climate will get you in trouble 99.9999999999% of the times, not pirates

yeah not to mention the billboards in space, i hardly ever look for them anymore. Makes me sad because they fit so nicely into the game visually

This change will hugely influence gatecamps and pvp strategy in general. One would have to choose his battlefield carefully and take into consideration the current and upcoming 'weather conditions'. (keep an eye on the billboards and TV's in stations for potential 'weather prognosis')
In the case of gas clouds that are forming, because of certain conditions in space (level of toxicity?) They could potentially be predicted.
In the case of meteor showers, if they hit a certain gate or station area, one could predict in which direction that 'storm' is heading, maybe the gate/station/planet nearby.
In the case of comets, this is one is my favorite. Somebody here suggested that they could potentially be mined. I like that idea, because that would make room for mining ships and haulers in pvp fleets!
And here's the central beauty of the idea: Comets can be predicted far far ahead. And if it were to be passing by 0.0 or lowsec, people would fight for it and have convoys and mining ops in the middle of traffic hubs such as gates and stations.

Another potential weather based factor could be gravity of the sun.
Effect: The closer a gate/planet/station is to the sun the less top velocity your ship will have.
How gravity can be used in weather predictions:
Solar flares and eruptions could be predicted to have gravitational and other sorts of consequences in certain areas of space.
