The knight describes king lear as being out of his mind, comparing the storm inside Lear's mind with the storm outside, "one minded like the weather, most unquietly"
There is rain, wind, thunder, lightening, flooding and they speak of water coming from both the sky and the sea. This storm sounds chaotic and dangerous. It can compare well with Lear’s mind as he thinks about his daughter Cordelia and problems he is having with her.
As Lear begins to lose his sanity, the weather becomes worse. As the conflict begins to build and Lear thinks more about Cordelia, the storm gets worse as well.
The weather and King Lear's mind go hand in hand. When King Lear is mad, the weather storms and vice versa. In Act III King Lear's mind is crazy, unstable, and upset. Therefore the huge storm is also chaotic and crazy like Lear's mind.
When the storm pops up, Lear had just been "gun down" by his daughter's words. Here was a man who thought his daughter loved him and he finally relizes that she was playing him this whole time. The storm represents the trouble on his mind. When a person is so distrought, they feel as if a storm is going on in their mind, a uneasy feeling like you are being tossed about. That's the feeling Shakespeare wants to convay.
