It wouldn't be the same, GER seems to speak about willpower behind actions, a terrible weather created by a person to attack Giorno should be seen as much as a harmful action as someone trying to punch his face.

However I don't know if GER can always know whether there's an intention targeting Giorno (GER's never said to be omniscient to know how every single stand ability would work). So an indiscriminate attack may work.

I think GER isn't that powerful against phenomena without a will, picture Giorno standing in an open field during a heavy storm: hail is falling from the sky over Giorno and harm him. GER then rewinds the storm back... it will always come back at that same time, unlike a normal combat GER can't do anything to avoid the damage the next time (fighting a person's different: that person attacks > GER rewinds > GER counterattacks > Giorno receives no damage).

There's people that say GER is soo powerful it would literally erase the storm from existance, forgive my language... but that's bs. It's never implied or shown that it can delete things from existance at all.
