She munipulates space weather via those same energies.
She has fine control over energies as to create atmospheric changes WHEREVER they are as they might exist on earth.
She munipulates the forces of NATURE. Nature extends OUTSIDE of our Planet.
Earth is no more than a mass made of Planetary dibris who's weather and atmosphere is governed by the same laws that make up the universe. That's why her powers can extend exponentially.
While under WATER, she muniputes the currents like she does Wind. Storm controls NATURE. Which encompasses everything. Her control is limited though, yet still fine.
Earth's weather is just a small model of the bigger forces that govern the Universe.
If this is supposed to be true... WHY manipulate the weather? It's the flashiest, ineffecient use of power to set up complex actions and reactions to trigger weather. Unless the jist is she has excellent control but poor energy output so she has to use the weather to create a greater effect than her own powers could create as direct energy attacks.
In which case, I still consider her "powerful" in the moderately damaging, mass AE way, but lacking in the single target department. It sounds like a good setup so the character isn't too powerful but between all the Storm love and Storm hate and my natural apathy towards the character, I still wouldn't read anything with her in it.

^How did we make THAT jump??? 🙄
At least storm has shown the *drumroll* POTENTIAL to foster and house the kinds of powers I'm talkin about.
What has jean done prior to Phoenix that showed that she could one day be "second to God", the heavenly father Himself or herself😕!!
This number actually makes sense to me. Telepaths can manipulate pretty much anything, right? With the skill/power you can manipulate molecules and atoms. Take that fact to an obscene level, add "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! SUPA SAYIAN!!!!!!!" freak out and you got a pretty powerful character.
Don't feel bad though, I don't like Jean either. The Phoenix crap is so annoying, so pretentious, and it never wears a shirt. It craps all over pre-existing cosmic hierarchies and even voids some characters' concepts. Like Galactus.
