Stalker 2 has very violent thunder storms. The lightning strikes are especially intense.

May not be exactly what you're looking for, but subnautica and subnautica below zero are two of my favorite games. Subnautica starts with you Crashing in a life pod onto an undiscovered water planet and trying to rescue other survivors, gathering resources, building bases submarines etc. Weather is not really a consideration since you're underwater, but there are lots of other pitfalls. Subnautica below zero is a sequel but set on the Arctic pole of the planet and requires you to go above surface a lot where the freezing temperatures start killing you once you're up there for very long.

Still Wakes the Deep puts you on an oil rig amid the ocean in a storm. You spend most of your time indoors though, but there are sections where you get to see the roaring ocean

Heavy Rain is worth playing... For the rain.. Edit: just remembered, there is also that Blizzard-Survival mode in the first Tom Clancy's Division game.

@ me if you get anything good. My recommendation is rain world which is great if you like platformers. The game makes you feel like a small animal in very hazardous conditions that you must often run and hide to escape from.

The Last Caretaker is an early access game where you pilot a boat that is often caught is rough storms. Worth checking out.

No Man's Sky on extreme hazard planets. Edit: ah fuck, you already said that in your OP, should've read it before 😄

Icarus. That game is amazing. It has varying tiers of storms which damage you but can also knock over trees that can fall on your base (or you), lightning starting forest fires, dust storms making it impossible to see where youre going etc. All the while needing supplies to survive.

Stormworks. Obviously. The entire game is about engineering and designing vehicles to go on various rescue missions, or to go to space, or sometimes to mine oil... okay the devs have gone a bit off track from the original vision but the storms are still good for a voxel physics sandbox game.

Dragon Age Inquisition, Storm Coat. I remember that looking real good

Flight simulators put a lot of effort into the weather. So flightgear for a free one. Microsoft Flight Simulator if you wanna pirate or pay

I think Icarus had a pretty cool weather system. Been a while since I've played it though.

Frostpunk has definitely storms and hazardous weather, but it's more of a strategy game.

Alan Wake. I don't think the weather is dangerous in of itself, but it makes for a very tense atmosphere.

The Lazarus facilities in Star Citizen have a constant irradiated electromagnetic storm around them. If you fly too deep (past the facility), your ship will be disabled and you'll crash. You can take a tram deeper into the storm and you'll start to receive radiation damage. So you'll either want a special protective suit, or take refuge inside of facility buildings every now and then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OzfPaUWYpY On this particular planet, your ship can also get hit by stray bolts of lightning (a rare occurence) while flying around any storm . It will shut your ship down for a short time. On some parts of planets, the weather is cold enough to freeze you (if you're not wearing the right protection). Some planets are very hot and will kill you if you stay too long outside without protection. There's an underground prison on a hot moon that you can escape from. If you don't get to a vehicle in time, you'll die from the heat (or lack of oxygen).

Mad Max has some intense and deadly but also rewarding sandstorms

Witchfire, especially Scarlet Coast and your home base/hub (weather can change in the hub from stormy to sunny). The way the trees sway and the darkened sky and looking out to where you can go is really pleasant.

I recently got Against the Storm. It's a gameplay loop about building a fantasy villiage in a hostile forest, so it sounds like what you're looking for. The faster you expand into the woods, the faster the hazards and challenges appear. The storms aren't visually spectacular, but they provide negative status effects. I like games that let me adjust the complexity and difficulty by adjusting the rate of my expansion. The first time I really felt that was with Creeper World. It's an RTS where you build turrets to claim territory against an ever-encroaching rising tide. You might enjoy that. Creeper World III is probably my favorite from the series.

Might be a little outside what you're looking for, but shout-out to Death Stranding 1/2. Having to navigate the weather, the floods (DS2) and whiteout conditions on foot really add to the world and the stress of achieving your goals.

Project Zomboid. Despite the top down camera and simpler graphics, storms and blizzards have great atmosphere. They make you wanna shut yourself indoors even more than the apocalypse itself.
