I disagree, but that's bound to happen in a discussion like this.

Can you clarify "series of functions like this"? Are the functions the
calls to print? Are the functions the calls to Weather.is_raining()?
IMO, in a "series of logic like this," the fact that individual bits are
the same should be blindingly obvious. With line after line of multiple
bits (some side-effecting statement, two conditions, and some keywords),
as opposed to a series of if statements with their associated inddented
suites, I feel that the commonality will get lost.
