[Sorcery] Novice's Weather Dome - Page 2

Weather Dome from Sorcery: Protection and Warning Spells is a pretty powerful ability as written. With it the Sorcerer and his friends could elegantly enjoy an afternoon tea during a category 5 hurricane. However this much power is overkill if all the mage wants is a magical tent.
What would be an appropriate build for a simple spell to protect against common weather?

Reducing total level might work but given it works on percentages I'm not entirely sure. Maybe -30% to bad weather is enough to stop rains, but it also might mean that it reduces the harshness of every weather by 30% and so 70% of the rain is still coming through.
On top of that, the spell would need to have Persistent and Extended Duration so the caster can sleep under its effect. This would further increase the cost of the spell.
Or maybe I could just call is Accessory (Tent) and be done with it, but that would be too cheap.

I'm not entirely sure how to deal with it so any help would be appreciated.
