It's ambiguous.

I don't think Gandalf is a puppet, but he surely is working as a steward for the Higher Powers in Middle-earth. "'For I also am a steward. Did you not know?'" That doesn't mean he knows everything that will happen -- although when he first returns as Gandalf the White he seems to have knowledge that comes from a Higher Source, while at the same time he has forgotten much of what he learned in Middle-earth, like the name "Gandalf."

Whether he temporarily controls the weather or simply makes it look that way is unclear.
