If 12 IC-hours of character actions later, just as the ambush is about to start, the DM then discovers they looked at the wrong day on their campaign weather chart and it was instead supposed to be sunny with a light breeze, I personally think that the best option is to fudge the weather chart to match what the DM told the PCs, rather than introduce some reason that Druidcraft failed or retcon 12 hours of character actions. (Not that I personally use campaign weather charts these days, but I used to, and I believe there are plenty of people who still do.)</blockquote>
