My wife and I have had a rule since we were dating. You never talk about the weather unless it is causing a mutual discomfort (e.g., you're both getting wet in the rain because you lost your umbrella).
One of our biggest jokes has been to say "Oho, they're talking about the weather. That's a bad sign."
The weather isn't much of conversation starter in normal situations. We usually try to start out asking about something of interest to the person. A lot of times that will be asking them about themselves.
