Very nice, Dynamite- overall I found this an accessible, engaging and classy puzzle! Faves included 11a, 13a, 19a, 24a, 4d, 16d, & 18d. I briefly toyed with a different 3 letter word in 12a that would have also worked. Re your question about 17d, I guess it’s a matter of religious persuasion! Whether &lit or not it’s maybe a bit open-ended- I wondered if starting with ‘Sun god…’ might have focused the meteorological aspect a bit more as well as giving the solver a kick start… And with your 25a
