Sorcery page 9

It's needed if you don't want it to be obvious that you created the Tent, yes. There shouldn't be any real reason why that's necessary.

One problem is that as written... Control 2 would just let you make existing rain 20% lighter, no matter if it was light sprinkles or a downpour. With the kind of 'one task' idea going on here, I'd be tempted to treat it differently, so that mild conditions can be negated with lower Control, and extreme ones with 10. But figuring out that would be complicated, and certainly getting away from RAW.
