Forget the weather!
How would the gravity work? Would it work on the inside of the ring? if so, how?

It would be almost impossible for a planet to form in a torus (or "doughnut") shape due the nature of the way planets are formed.
However, there is a theory that infact the Universe is in the shape of a torus.
I wouldn't know about the weather though, I'm a physicist, not a meteorologist.

In a fascinating way I assume! We ought to get the JCB's out. I think the poles and equator have massive effects, so a doughnut would prove very different.

Forget the "falling though the hole", and "gravity" would work fine. But, Navigating around those donut sprinkles while driving to work in the rain could get crazy.

You would likely have to prepare weather forecasts using Non-Euclidean geometry.

Well i think that would be the least of our worries - we might fall through the middle.
