Reference for Taanit 6:4

בימות הגשמים לא אמר משיב הרוח אין מחזירין אותו לא אמר מוריד הגשם מחזירין אותו ולא עוד אלא אפילו אמר מעביר הרוח ומפריח הטל אין מחזירין אותו

But this is what he meant: 'As the world cannot endure without winds, so too the world cannot exist without Israel'. R'Hanina said: Therefore, if in the summer one inserted [in the Tefillah the words], 'He causeth the wind to blow', he is not compelled to repeat [the Tefillah]; if, however, he said, 'He causeth the rain to fall', he is compelled to repeat [it]. Similarly, if in winter one did not insert, 'He causeth the wind to blow', he is not compelled to repeat; if, however, he did not say, 'He causeth the rain to fall', he is compelled to repeat.
