At 100 yards wind yes, rain no unless its blowing in your eyes and effecting your vision. Same for snow and fog. If you can see the target you can hit it.

At 600 yards you might have a problem but at 100 your little bullet is still going to be hot and dry.

Barometer and humidity has more effect than rain does in my experience.
