Sure. First of all check out detailed weather apps with maps that show what's coming your way. This way you will be informed ahead of time of the coming weather. The rest... Just chill and smile. You cannot do anything about the weather. You did budget for at least a couple of rain days iwhen shooting ext in the winter/spring? Right?

You have to, don't you? If you don't expect to face obstacles, you're a hugely optimistic (or possibly quite loopy) human being.

Safety - it all must be about safety on the day. If there are lighting strikes, production exteriors must shut down for a period of time. Also, continuity - there is a pretty big range on what can be shot in moving light and storms so continue to shoot, but there can be circumstances so extreme that it will be impossible to match, so weigh the options of 1)reshoot the scene 2)cut the scene 3)rewrite the scene But most of all, you know the weather because you the producer and the AD team are anticipating- so you have a cover set and actors for each those scenes ought to be on a w/n on the call sheet. As far as protective gear for people and equipment. Crew must bring their own to wear. And departments have protective gear.

A shot list is detrimental to any shoot, be sure to survey the area prior and the dat of shooting. When necessary using the challenging weather can yield unexpected reward in your shots. Lastly don’t expect perfect weather account for things to go wrong! Have extra equipment like spare sandbags available incase you need to secure your lights or camera in even if emergency and have contingency locations in mind if you see bad weather start to arise Hope this helps

I do check for weather forecast information, so I can have an idea of what to expect and what sort of equipment might be required.. I have been in projects messed up by weather changes or climate conditions that were not expected and sometimes it might get difficult. Yet, that is when training and experience help, we are expected to deal with the shoot.
