I am inclined to call myself natural at this.
1. Some form of emotional/friendly/even motherly in my case connection with earth/Gaia/Terra is preferable. If you litter and mistreat her in any way, cannot say you will be successful.
The reason being is that she is just as much a part of the "magick" involved as you, and more most of the time (from my experience). Note: This is the most important for a successful modification upon the weather
2 objects/symbols (of power) are great, perhaps a wand or staff. The more it represents the better as is obvious enough.
3 emotion has worked well for me many times. Often calling rain when I was having a case of the blues as to some injustices done to me (Im sure we all know how much that can hurt). Rain coming within minutes, sometimes seconds.
4 Names/words, I am using of oath most of the time.
All of this mostly speaks of will however, as such I was successful on all but 1 attempt and it is not something I do lightly, There must be reason for me good enough to do. Mostly it was calling of rain, once felt breeze of wind, but inconclusive and another and last time I have tried it was lightning. very dangerous and very frightening for me, hence I do not feel need to mess with this any more...
