Too many thunderstorms!
I am currently playing with 28 day seasons and the first three weeks of summer have been 18 days of thunderstorms. The charm of them has really been lost at this point and it's just downright annoying...

I think in general the weather is too repetitive. In a given week, I will often have thunderstorms for the entire week, or heat wave the entire week, etc.
Now, I know, in real life, that you can have a full week or sometimes a couple of weeks in a row of these things. But... in real life, a season also lasts three months. A week straight of thunderstorms in July is not equal to having T-storms every day for the entire summer. I don't mind any of these weather patterns but the game should have some sort of "streak breaker" in the code to prevent an entire season from being monotonous. If you are playing on week-long seasons, I'd say the game should prevent more than 2 days in a row of the same weather, so you get some variety. If you are playing 2-weeks, then maybe 4 days in a row would be max. If you are playing more than that, then 1-week in a row max. This way you're not just seeing the same weather over and over again for an entire season.
