No.
I have had both knees replaced, but I never experienced any link between the weather and the pain and stiffness of the arthritis prior to the operations.
I try to take the weather as it comes. It does not affect me physically, although long dry periods worry me.
Nor have I ever had anything I might imagine to be "Seasonal Affective Disorder": actual clinical depression rather than simply feeling depressed, in Winter. I live at about 50ºN, a latitude with strong day/night changes through the years, and though liking the longer evenings (and lower electricity and gas bills!), I take the seasons as they come.
Indeed one of the best bits of advice I have heard, and by a professional psychologist at that, is to embrace the seasons - it may be wet and cold in Winter but it does not stop her going walking. Just buy decent outdoor clothing and enjoy the scenery, Winter or Summer!
