Was he involved in the making of the movie? Or were the dreary and rainy scenes described in detail in the book?

He was not really involved. He was consulted a bit, and while he disapproved of the original script, it seems he liked the rewrite. He screened a preview and reacted positively to the general feel, however he died before it was completed.
I doubt he was involved. I believe he died only months before the movie’s release. The story/novella describes plenty of grim weather because Earth’s atmosphere has been nearly destroyed.
