Yo! so i was looking at the spell call lightning and it seems to be the only spell that takes into account weather to empower the spell. Are there any other spells that also do this and they are just rare? Does anyone know why they stopped doing this? its really flavorful and i enjoy it.

It's a pretty situational kind of thing that they'd have to come up with for a lot of different spells. Better to leave that in the hands of the DM; if you/they think underwater creatures should have disadvantage on their save vs a lightning bolt, or wet characters should take extra improvised damage from a cone of cold etc, you/they can do that.

There’s the general rule about resistance to fire damage when a creature is completely submerged in water. That could potentially apply to lots of spells. Not the weather, but it is a rule that accounts for the environment.

so its the only spell that does that?
It's one of the few where an interaction is defined and spelled out in the rulebook - that doesn't mean its the only one that can ever have an interaction at all. Talk to your DM if you think environmental conditions should impact a spell beyond its standard entry.
