Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for weather, with forms such as "ewather", "waether", and "weahter".

It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "weaver", "water", "Walther", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
