The weather in Bleak House is pretty depressing: the weather represents misery and misfortune. Depressing Gloomy weather is everywhere from the fog emanating from the Chancery to the endless mist and mud of London streets, to the frigid east wind.
Chesney World represents Lady Dedlock's depressing and pointless life. Cold weather represents disease and decay like Esther's smallpox.
When times are better, it is usually summer with rays of sunlight. Consider when Jarndyce shows Esther Bleak House cottage, a wedding present for her and Allan Woodcourt, it's "a most beautiful summer morning," and there's a "sweet west wind" (Chapter 64).
