On February 23rd, Niantic announced that an event involving Legendary Pokemon would be taking place. The legendary that was captured the most would have a boost in egg hatches associated with that legendary's weather type.
Today, March 5th, Niantic announced Rayquaza was the legendary that won. Starting now, Pokemon that prefer WINDY WEATHER are more likely to hatch from eggs.
But there's more! Niantic also announced that raids will be more likely to feature Pokemon who prefer windy weather as well. This may mean that Rayquaza may be more common than before!
Also, there will be a 2x XP boost in effect until the end of the event on March 16th.
Check the list below for Pokemon associated with windy weather, as well as the full text of the announcement.

Niantic Official Announcement
Trainers,
The dust has settled on our legendary week of Raid Battles, and the ancient Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza has proven victorious! So from March 5 to March 16, Pokémon that prefer windy weather will hatch more often from Eggs.
But that’s not the only place you’ll see weather-enhanced Pokémon. Raid Battles at Gyms near you will also favor appearances by Pokémon that prefer windy weather. Plus, enjoy double XP until March 16—a special thanks for all of your enthusiasm and hard work!
In need of Premium Raid Passes? Don’t forget that special boxes containing them will be available in the shop until March 11.
Although Kyogre and Groudon have left for now, you can continue to challenge Rayquaza in Raid Battles until March 16! Get the most out of hatching, catching, and battling during this limited time.
Stay safe, and happy exploring!
—The Pokémon GO team
