What makes you think the "cause" is weather? I don't believe weather that affected the airplane several cycles prior to the flight in question is relevant.
I personally think EU261 is an overreaching law that often unfairly pins airlines in corners. That having been said, it applies equally to all carriers, and as long as it's on the books, affected passengers should invoke it.
