Beginning of the Musnad of Ibn Abbas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2456 — it was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ
وَبِهِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا ثَارَتْ رِيحٌ اسْتَقْبَلَهَا ، وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا رِيَاحًا ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا رِيحًا ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا رَحْمَةً ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا عَذَابًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that it was the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever a strong wind blew, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would face it, kneel down on his knees and make this supplication: 'Allahumma-j'alha riyahan wa la taj'alha rihan, Allahumma-j'alha rahmatan wa la taj'alha 'adhaban' (O Allah, make it winds (that bring the good news of merciful rain) and do not make it a (destructive) windstorm; O Allah, make it a mercy and do not make it a punishment).
