Yes; very much so.

Otherwise the atmosphere would float out into space - and it is effectively, the atmosphere that delivers our weather.

If our gravity was more like the strength of Jupiter's, for instance, then, besides that our bodies would be extremely heavy and perhaps crush many of us, the air and any water droplets would also exert more pressure upon us - especially, in humid conditions.

The rain would fall sooner and more often due to its heavier weight.

It is not affected by the atmosphere, the atmosphere contains the weather.
