In the game I play, the weather and position of the sun and moons plays an integral part in character life. A hunter for example wouldn't start out on a trek in the wilderness during a sandstorm at night. Some mages might find the sun to be a detriment to their casting ability, others might learn that darkness poses a problem for them, even if the moons are out.
Sandstorms cause your clothing to be covered with dust, which could get you tossed out of the better taverns if you don't brush yourself off before entering. They can also cause you to lose your way, and this could result in an untimely death - if you happen to walk into something hungry.
So yes, I (and most players of the game) definitely take the weather and time of day into consideration and use it in our roleplaying.
