Suggested correction: Fairly certain the film was clear that the reason it got dark was because of the dementors, they have the ability to change the weather to depressive darkness.

Yes the Dementors make it go dark, but that's only when they are nearby. Since Harry got rid of the dementors, it would go back to how it was before. A hot summers day.
