Narrative:

Aircraft X was on a direct route and climbed. I had turned them slightly northeast before I normally would because of depicted/reported weather. The turn on course was given above the MVA the aircraft was in. At this time I was coordinating with adjacent airspace about a weather deviation. Aircraft X was in a 10000 ft MVA approaching a 12000 ft MVA @ 11500 ft approximately 5 miles from the higher MVA. I inquired if the pilot could increase the rate of climb. The pilot responded negative so I turned the aircraft towards a lower MVA. I was also communicating with the second aircraft that was deviating around weather. When I next observed aircraft X he was exiting the 12000 ft MVA into a 10000 ft MVA at 11700 ft. After the aircraft had reached 12000 ft I resumed his navigation on course.
