You can never really win. We do include definite articles in the title in instances like the Doctor, the Monk, the Question, the Master — that is to say, when ordinary nouns are given different meanings when "the"'s included. We have Doctor and the Doctor; we might as well at least leave the option open for someone in the future to write an article about the weather phenomenon.
