I find that weather chart somewhat humorous. Playing against the Russian AI, this game I'm on right now and seemingly most others I have played through 1941, it is Turn 5 and from Turn 3 until now I have had light mud in the north (rain) and last turn (4) it was raining as far south as Kiev. I wrote about a similar problem with bad luck dice rolls on the weather in a different thread and someone questioned my having rain and light mud on Turn 3 or 4, and yet here I am again. I look at the above chart and see that July is all clear turns yet turn 3 saw rain all around the Pskov area with light mud. I should probably not keep saving over the same game save so I'd have a record, but I don't care about it enough I guess. I just seem to have bad luck over most of my AI games. My point is, the above weather table is very misleading as you can have a rain and mud area in July and August 1941, and it can make a huge difference in slowing down the advance.

which is not what I am seeing in any of my current games.

Light rain/light mud up Pskov/Novgorod most turns post T5, rest of the front 2/3 clear turns then light rain.

The key (as in the earlier thread about this) is the relationship between that table and the various weather fronts. There is an example in the manual but you can see exactly how a given front adjusts that table in the game editor.

The table isn't misleading, its not some 'average' weather chart that the actual weather revolves around, its what happens if no front affects a given region (& even then the ground conditions will have a legacy from past events)

This is why I seldom post any longer... but although I don't have consecutive saves, I do have screenshots of my most recent turn, as I knew from experience in the forums that I would have to show something of what is happening.
Several screenshots follow:
