What's the point of using a Skybox when there is no way to turn off generated clouds while keeping the sun/moon/stars/sky? Not to mention that when a storm approaches in-game the skybox remains the same, which totally throws off the immersion.

Seems like it's better to just stick to generated clouds.

Quite a lot of zones with skyboxes have weather turned off. But honestly, I don't use skyboxes as well, I usually just use generated clouds and light settings only for changing brightness of scenery. Fog and light effects are those more important to me.

It should be possible to turn them off. There are half transparent skyboxes in WoW since WotLK I believe.

Yeah but the flag that turns on/off clouds is the same flag that turns on/off everything else in the sky. There is a reason why all the half-transparent skyboxes in WotLK don't have clouds in them. And even if they could individually be turned on or off, it still would have problems with weather effects looking the way you want them to.
