Did you exit the game and reload it after you changed the init file?  It won't check it in mid-game.

I noticed this as well (and yes, I did close Dwarf fortress and restart it).  I assumed it was because it's one of those init options that's only checked at world generation.

i did even switch weather on, wait for the rain to expire, exit the game and turn waether off once again.

The result was rain a few minutes later.

The option just turns off the expensive weather calculation.  This should keep the situation static, but in dwarf mode, it'll change the state after a while.  I'd have to poke around to figure out exactly what the behavior should be, but the weather option only shuts off the expensive routine.
