I was literally looking for one yesterday when I noticed that two of my six tank divisions in Spain as Soviet Russia were pushing into a province with mud and taking insane attrition. Unfortunately there is no weather map mode in HoI4.

Yeah, a simplified (and clear) weather mapmode would be extremely useful . . .
EDIT: fixed typo

I agree this would be helpful. I know there are 3D graphics, but I often see snowflakes floating over provinces that don't have any snow-modifiers, and since we don't have full control over the camera it can be hard to work out what's going on.

It's even more weird when you realize that you can turn off visual displays of weather (and rivers!) in the settings menu despite the massive effects that both have on gameplay. The lack of a weather mapmode is a real shame considering how hard it can be to see them graphically, and no one wants to check every province tooltip in order to know where it's safe to attack. Honestly, you probably shouldn't even be able to turn off rivers. It's not like 3d trees or buildings where it doesn't matter if you can see them or not.

The best way to deal with weather in the current game is just to make sure all your tanks have 100%+ reliability and ignore it, which isn't very interactive.
