Top 10 Months with the Worst Weather
One minute you're scraping ice off your windshield in the dark, the next you're sweating through your shirt at 9 a.m. without moving a muscle. The Northern Hemisphere has a talent for seasonal chaos, and certain months come out swinging harder than others.
You've trudged through freezing slush that soaks your socks on contact. You've sat in traffic with the sun frying your dashboard like it's trying to cook breakfast. You've probably cursed the weather at least once while checking the forecast, hoping for a break and getting slapped with "more of the same" instead.
This list is your chance to weigh in on the months that consistently deliver the worst the skies have to offer.

February
I actually hate February, even though it has Valentine's Day. Here are the reasons:
1. It snows too much.
2. I think it's too cold.
3. I hate cold weather!
And that's all. Have a good February this year!
It's actually pretty annoying.

July
Being in West Michigan, the weather's quite warm (80 degrees on average), but what kills is the HUMIDITY. Living by Lake Michigan can be fun, but the humidity could make anyone die.
It gets hot as hell in July as well. I don't know how anyone could stand the heat.
I was born on July 1st. But I really hate summer. I like fall and winter, so it's an absolute nightmare.
-
January
Where I live, it didn't snow last December, but when January came along, we started to get snowstorm after snowstorm, and schools were closing like crazy!
February was also pretty rough too.
January is brutal where I live. Well, really, every weather event is brutal where I live. It's either scalding hot or freezing cold.
This should be at the top. It is the coldest month. Always avalanches, snowstorms, and blizzards. I get so cold in January.
-
March
March has wind, fog, and rain. It is very cold.
Yay! My birthday is in the wettest month of the year in Townsville (where I live, by the way).
-
August
It's hot as hell in August, so that's why I spend my summer indoors.
Bad typhoons hit the Philippines in August and September.
Cold is WAY better than heat, so August sucks (Northern Hemisphere).
-
September
One word: HURRICANES. I live in the UK, and we never get hurricanes, but it's devastating to the people who live near the western Atlantic. By the way, I don't know when the typhoon and cyclone seasons peak, so yeah.
It changes weather like one day it's warm, the next day it's hot, and the next day it's cold. I hate it.
-
November
In Germany, November has the worst weather overall: rain, followed by rain, then rain, and then there's rain between the rain showers. It is also quite windy, and those winds can be really cold!
Once, there was a freak snowstorm at the end of October, and I lost electricity for four days (so no heat!). We had to postpone Halloween because there were so many trees on the road that it was too dangerous to go trick-or-treating.
This is why I hate this month the most: The weather is cold and very windy, and there's no snow, unlike December.
-
October
Yes, October. That's my birthday, which is on Saturday the 18th.
-
December
This month, I can get snowy and cold weather. It sucks when it gets freezing outside.
-
June
This is when my least favorite season of all begins. I really wish I had some sun-blocking curtains in my room for this reason.
The heatwaves! My birthday has to be in the middle of the heatwaves!
-
April
April is known for unpredictable and sometimes severe weather because it's a transitional month where cold air from winter and warm, moist air from spring collide.
This fuels phenomena like tornadoes, heavy rains, and even late-season snow. The jet stream, a band of strong winds, shifts and creates atmospheric instability, bringing a mix of weather conditions, from severe thunderstorms to lingering cold snaps.
There is an old rule that stands for April's weather in general and is mostly true for Germany: it is unstable as heck! You can literally go from a deep freeze and thick layers of snow to an early heatwave, topping out at around 90°F (beware of thunderstorms), and then to November-like rainfall and coldness in only one month!

May
It gets really hot and sunny in May, which is something I hate with a burning passion.
It doesn't feel like summer. August is more in the summer. Maybe school must be lying.
