Are you equating the using of a grammatical construct that based upon a scientific flaw or a logical fallacy in a weather forecast to your literal accuracy imperative of Scripture?

Who said I have a "literal accuracy imperative of Scripture?" The rising and setting of the sun is both a literal observational phenomenon and a illustrative figure of speech.

Is God in control of the climate?

"Who said I have a "literal accuracy imperative of Scripture?"

Ther rejection of any science based processes as being the work of God because they are n't specifically cited in clear English in Scripture pretty much answers that question.

The rising and setting of the sun is both a literal observational phenomenon and a illustrative figure of speech."

The sun neither rises nor sets; the earth rotates on its axis resulting in any given point on its surface moving toward or away from it. That we have a grammatical construct that states otherwise in biblical verbiage undermines the concept of biblical literalism.

"Is God in control of the climate?"

Of course He is. The argument isn't "if" he is in control. It is "how" he controls.
