How do meteorological phenomena like cyclones and hurricanes affect the acidity of rainwater?

A storm from the ocean or a large body of water would most likely add more unpolluted water to the water cycle, and would therefore bring the pH closer to the neutral value of 7. Most rainwater is slightly acidic, so the pH would increase slightly from an introduction of unpolluted water. Hope it helps!
