I checked out two paper dictionaries (one in English, one in Japanese), and a website, and did not see any specific mention of any restrictions in the second category. Can you point out where you saw it?

I found multiple websites saying the consequent should be a volitional verb, so natural phenomena shouldn't be used with this pattern, e.g.:

https://jn1et.com/gahayaika/

Neither DoAJG nor Bunkei Jiten explicitly mention it, but their example sentences do seem to be in line with that...
