I want wind and precipitation but no hurricanes, tornadoes, sandstorms (are those deadly?), etc. I turned off the deadly storms, but as it turns out, the way I did it also removes precipitation.

command 1 /weather2 storm create rain
command 2 /weather2 storm killall
weather2 ez dale a never i vete a compatibility i dale cambia a global overcast.

Thank you. This is helpful to know, but I was asking about the configuration menu, not commands.

Change Storm_NoTornadosOrCyclones to true

You can find that under Config Tornado in advanced settings.
