اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah, I ask You for its [the wind's, rain's, etc.] good, and the good of what is in it, and the good of what it has been sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.

Source & Authentication
‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the wind blew strongly, the Prophet (ﷺ) would say: 'O Allah, I ask You for its good and the good of what is in it and the good of what it has been sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it has been sent with.' And when the sky became cloudy and thunder roared and lightning flashed, he would forgo smiling until the rain would cease. And when it rained, he would say: 'This is a mercy from Allah.'
