In those cases, you care more about the other conditions than the fact that it's also windy. Different people care about different aspects, and different things are severe to them. Someone with a garden might not care about wind, but about precipitation. Someone driving a truck will care about wind, but not about rain or cloudyness. People commuting by bicycle will care for both. And so on. > For example if the wind accompanies rain or a storm, the fact that it's windy is not very interesting; what you're focusing on is the fact that it's a storm!

(this is also a condition we don't currently handle) Yes, chance of tornado, sandstorms, glaze, etc, are something someone (tm) should care for one day. But... > So I would probably favor showing a "windy" icon when it's only windy, or a "windy and cloudy" icon when the wind is accompanies by cloudiness as well. Sounds like you imply sunny with "windy" :) And cloudy is usually not a severe condition, unless one is out to watch the stars or pulling solar electricity, or? Sunny rather would be severe, e.g. putting human skin into danger. So far I had considered the main condition icon to be a hint to a typical pattern of weather, roughly represented by the icon. And not being the place to also hint to chances of potential exteme conditions, that would be a separate thing (to be done). And by what I understand the "it's windy" having not deeply researched things, it means here "as usual for this type of year here, so we will not explitily mention it, but additionally windy".
