Dua when a storm is approaching : دعاء الريح
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا
وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا
وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا
وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا
وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah! I ask You for what is good in it,
and the good which it contains,
and the good of that which it was sent for.
I seek refuge with You from what is evil in it,
what evil it contains,
and the evil of that what it was sent for
Allahumma inni as’aluka khairaha,
wa khaira ma fiha,
wa khaira ma ursilat bihi.
Wa a’udhu bika min sharriha,
wa sharri ma fiha,
wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.

Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from its evil.
Allahumma innī audhu bika min sharriha.
00:33 – Reference: When it is stormy
‘Ata’ b. Rabah reported on the authority of ‘A’isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him), who said:
Whenever the wind was stormy, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: O Allah! I ask Thee for what is good in it, and the good which it contains, and the good of that which it was sent for. I seek refuge with Thee from what is evil in it, what evil it contains, and the evil of that what it was sent for; and when there was a thunder and lightning in the sky, his colour underwent a change, and he went out and in, backwards and forwards; and when the rain came, he felt relieved, and I noticed that (the sign of relief) on his face. ‘A’isha asked him (about it) and he said: It may be as the people of ‘Ad said: When they saw a cloud formation coming to their valley they said:” It is a cloud which would give us rain” (Qur’an, xlvi. 24).
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ، بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا عَصَفَتِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ ” اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ ” . قَالَتْ وَإِذَا تَخَيَّلَتِ السَّمَاءُ تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ وَخَرَجَ وَدَخَلَ وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَطَرَتْ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَعَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ . قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ ” لَعَلَّهُ يَا عَائِشَةُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ عَادٍ { فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا} ” .

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a cloud formation in the sky, he left work, even if he were at prayer, and then would say: “O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from its evil. ” If it rained, he would say: “O Allah! send a beneficial downpour.”
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى نَاشِئًا فِي أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ تَرَكَ الْعَمَلَ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي صَلاَةٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ” اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا ” . فَإِنْ مُطِرَ قَالَ ” اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبًا هَنِيئًا ” .
