The question is a bit unclear. What factors? For what purpose?
When I use weather in tabletop RPGs I typically create a markov chain. Each type of weather has a table of weathers it can become, and that table often includes itself. I then roll on table for the current weather every game day, and that decides what the weather changes to.
Simple example: Sunny: 1-3: sunny 4: rain 5: heat wave 6: overcast
Rain: 1-2: rain 3-4: overcast 5-6: sunny
Overcast: 1-2: overcast 3-5: rain 6: sunny
Heat wave: 1-2: heat wave 3-5: sunny 6: rain
