The Symbolic Significance of Weather

Perhaps nature and place have a relationship to the whole plot and conflict?

I think so, even Aragorn and Legolas think that weather has a special meaning:

Aragorn: There is something strange at work in this land. I distrust the silence. I distrust even the pale Moon. The stars are faint; and I am weary as I have seldom been before, weary as no Ranger should be with a clear trail to follow.'

Legolas:'Awake! Awake! he cried. 'It is a red dawn. Strange things awaits us by the eaves of the forest. Good or evil I do not know; but we are called. Awake!'
The Riders of Rohan; LotR
