Hi, couple of things you did not mention.

Are you with the same instructor, i.e. they don't change on you?
Do you fly the same aeroplane?
Is your time freely available.
Do you spend much time flying with others and learning how they go about it?

When I was learning, there were five elements that conspired to ruin my progress:-
1. Your free time.
2. Aircraft availability.
3. Weather.
4. Instructor availability.
5. Money.

After 15 hours of going nowhere, I gave up on club training, bought my own aeroplane, sought an excellent free lance instructor, and had my PPL within 40 hours.

Now, I understand that not everyone can do that, so......Closely look at why your progress is stalling. Speak with the CFI/Instructor and let them understand your concern. Moving club may not be the correct move, so ask around, look around, and see if any alternatives are there, other than club.

6k, 24 hours going solo, and now at the 40 hour mark, with all exams passed, you should be close to test, but......something aint quite right.

Are you sure it is just weather, and not something else?

One other thing - at 40 hours, you should have done some nav I would have thought
