Wake Turbulence reports to ATC for different weather conditions

Yes, another question....

I am interested for the guys at the major airports queuing traffic with the standard separation how many reports they get of wake turbulence from the aircraft in front?

I would be also very interested if they find the number of wake turbulence reports from pilots goes up or down in different weather conditions? I think, if I am right, that still weather with no winds, encourages wake turbulence, and windy weather can lower the risk of it? Is this true from practical reports by pilots?
