Top 10 Countries with the Worst Weather

Simply Google the annual number of sunlight hours in the uk compared to literally anywhere else in the world and you will instantly understand why everybody is so depressed.
I get less sunlight than Helsinki. You know, the coldest capital. There are places in Scotland with the same annual sunlight hours as freaking Lapland. A place where the sun doesn't even rise for HALF THE YEAR.
We spend so much time under clouds that the fact we're actually further north than you'd think barely even plays a role. Everybody here has seasonal depression… for 10 months of the year.

good lucking surviving a winter here (especially in the north of England and scotland) a few months ago we has 2 Ukrainian refugees come here and after a few months they went back to Ukraine.

Our weather isn't actually that bad but it's so varied. If you're going away you never know what to pack! Always take a raincoat even in the midst of a heatwave, and pack summer clothes even in mid winter especially if you're going to a differrnt part of the country! I recall many a time when I've been at home sat in the garden sweltering in Somerset yet speaking to friends/family in Devon, Midlands, London and in the north where they've got torrential rain with flooding, snow or half force winds. Kind of makes our weather interesting...and frustrating!

In the United Kingdom it always gets sunny but when it's like October it always rain! Ugh I hate rain so that why you need an umbrella always it snows! (Not really) but sometimes snows in Scotland Northern Ireland or Wales but it London it's so freezing you can even play so I admit it winter is the best weather ever!

Super cold and cloudy most of the year. No wonder they drink so much and depression is very high in Russia. The food is pretty nasty, they pickle everything cause the climate is so bad

I know the stereotype is that it's always cold in Russia. But as a California resident that grew up by the Black sea north Coast (City: Krasnodar) I can tell you for sure that summer in my hometown is way warmer and nastier due to high humidity. It's basically like Florida but worse during the summer there.

Russia's winter can kill anyone unless you wear tons of clothes. In the summer it also may kill anyone cause it's too dry, because most of Russia is a desert. More than half of the country is frozen all the year long.

Russia is cold with no warm summer and its snow all year round.

Super cold, they probably drink more than Americans, and its pretty boring, especially outside of Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. Rural Canada is sad, poor, lot of poor First Nations people

Worst of all countries for sure. Nobody's living up north of the country for a good reason. Weather is terrible even across the borders where 97% of the population is living. The St-Lawrence river, the great lakes and the north pole air stream are the responsible for this burden in our lives.

Guaranteed extremely cold weather that reaches -40 degrees Celsius every winter. Cold weather starts in early October and ends mid-May.
Summers are unpredictable year after year. It's not uncommon to see cool rainy days last for 5 days in a row. Heat waves occur once every summer and are unbearably humid that you stay indoors with air conditioning. All in all, if it weren't for incentives like free healthcare and other social programs, no one would come live here. It's not as amazing as it's advertised to be; depression is at an all time high due to weather.

Southern Ontario probably has the best weather in all of Canada. It is really awful for 3 months (Dec/Jan/Feb). It is unpleasant for 3 months (Oct/Nov/Mar). It is nice (for Canadians) in the spring and autumn (Apr/Sep). May is borderline. We can go swimming by the end of June, that is when the city pools open. If you visit in July and August its perfect. My dad who lives in Central America will not come to visit any month. My mom (because shes a mom) will come in July or August, last year she was cold here for 4 out of 6 weeks, with highs of 16 to 18 degrees Celsius during that time.

The middle states have the worst weather: Snow storms, tornados, too cold, too hot, a short period of time where its comfortable. Best weather is out west (dry heat) and the south (mild winters) The midwest and east coast weather is too extreme

I live in the southern part of the US. We have scorching hot summer with high humidity. It feels like a sauna for around half the year. Where I live we do get below freezing temperatures in the winter, but for the most part winter is just mild/cold and wet. Hurricanes threaten part of the southern US, earth quakes and fires in the west, blizzards in the north and midwest, Intense storms everywhere, 100+ temperatures in the southwest. United States sure do have the most diverse weather in the world I think. The only safe state is Hawaii. The area I live in had 70 degree weather one day, then two days later a wintery icy mix that was a mess. Its bad for sinuses too!

1. The United States is like really warm in the summer, even in Wisconsin. 2. Record cold temperatures suddenly hit Wisconsin and ever state near Canada in the winter and BOOM! A snow storm comes. 3. The Us has the most Hurricanes and Tornadoes plus other natural disasters in the world! You basically can't avoid the bad weather!

I've been all over America, and I can without a doubt say it has some pretty bad weather. On one side there is scorching summer heat with droughts that can last up to eleven months (at least in Arizona), wildfires are everywhere in the summer, so much so that you can see them in the distance usually. When it finally rains, it comes out of nowhere, fast, thin, and going sideways like little bullets that leave as quick as they came.
In the southeast it's hot and deathly humid, I remember the news saying to keep inside during the day since the air was so suffocating. Tornados are in the south galor, those nasty things tear apart lives, homes, and anything that crosses it's path, so does hurricanes.
Then there's the north, summers are pretty nice for most of the part, but winter is just a mess. As soon as Labour Day hits, everyone in the area knows that's about the endpoint, the tempature's just going to keep dropping from there. By January the tempature reaches its lowest, well ...more

Philippines is super, hot humid, and full of floods. It's also pretty poor in a lot of parts, which is sad. No wonder many filipinos leave the island

Living here is brutal because of the weather. I take 2 showers a day because of the high humidity. Your skin will feel sticky and clammy. Philippines has some the highest electricity cost of Asia so it's a luxury. Car shares don't want to run their AC and many business do don't run AC to save money. Its very hot in most homes since none of them have central air. Its not uncommon to go to a mall or movie theater with no AC. Your skin will burn quickly without sun block and an umbrella. By far the worst place for weather and comfort. It should be number 1.

If you live here as a tourist with hotels or tourists' places, it feels good but if you live here as a native, it feels very uncomfortable because of 1)typhoons 2) hot, dirt and humid that you always feels sticky if you're not in closed air-con environment and 3) unpredictable weather; example: sometimes while the sun is hot you will feel water dropping from the clouds.

Wonderful weather- Philippines... anyone who says otherwise has clearly failed, in their life's experience to date, to have actually visited any other remotely comparable garden spots/locations.

If you're looking for cold summers, a combination of rain and wind that slaps your face in a way you've never experienced before; rendering umbrellas completely useless (seriously most people don't even own one), dark winters, one of the richest vocabularies of words for snow and wind and dry air - Iceland is the country for you. Not to mention the expensive gas, pricy beer and overwhelmingly difficult grammar.

Nah, it's okay. The summers aren't cold for me at all, rain doesn't hit much, neither does wind, and besides, beautiful nature and the sun doesn't seem to go down.

I don't understand why Iceland is not on the top of this list. Summer never comes and winter doesn't have any sun.

How is the Uk number 1. at least in the Uk it gets above 20c every Summer. In Iceland Summer's are 10-14c and still very rainy. Winters stay below 0c yet they never have major snow on the coasts like they do inland (or in Germany, Russia, Canada etc)

The Historic temples are a main attraction, Kerala a small part of India is well known with the house boats and culinary, very Hospitable and hence you can find most of the people working in abroad and well respected by the community. The combination of three seas of different soil colour and the sunrise and sun set in Kanyakumari (Cape COMORIN) is a great place to visit. Most of the eminent Doctors and nurses from Kerala holds a great rank in other countries in the world and they excel a great service to the community

When talking about weather talk that not comment about the other stuffs non of the countries are perfect in many things...

India is massive and there are good places even more clean and developed than certain parts of usa and the crime rates are much less safe to live aswel...

It can go up to 40 degrees in the summer and its wet and dirty in the rains! winter is not cold at all, its cold in the morning and hot throughout the day

Super high depression rate and suicide cause their is no sun in winter. Very Sad, only 50,000 people. (thats basically a town) and its owned by Denmark

Get this to number one.

Not a country but cold.

Gross and cold

Legend says that someday the temperature will rise above -273.15 degrees... I keep a bathing suit and sunscreen in my house just in case.

Should be number 1, but isn't due to low population, which to be honest, is probably due to the intensely bad climate. Also the fact that most of the country is either mountainous, marshes, dense forest or hilly. Or a combination of all those biospheres. Expect disappointing summers and winters that make you wish you were born in Central African Republic instead.

Should be on the topp of the list if you live in Bergen. Living here is hard being on the wrong side of the mountains. 72% of the time it rains, more than 3 m a year. Hardly any difference between winter and summer.
All this water is used for Hydro power not benefitting the inhabitants but is exported to UK and Germany. Buy me a beer (11 pounds) before I move country.

How is this not higher on the list? The weather here is terrible! Totally dark in winter, with masses and masses of snow October to May. Then the rain sets in...no summer to speak of, with the additional torture of midnight sun. It is currently June and it has been snowing every day for the past four days. No respite in sight, and temperatures around the 5 degree mark - no, that's not a typo. Close to freezing in June...I'm moving back to the UK. The weather there is a treat compared to this.

I've only lived in Stavanger so can't comment on the rest of Norway- but Stavanger has a truly horrible climate. It is ALWAYS windy. It is cloudy and very cold all year round. winter is cold and wet but not cold enough for snow...just deeply unpleasant icy,windy drizzle. I would comment on summer but there is no summer in stavanger. Too unpleasant to do anything outdoors. Yukk.

Where I come from, it can reach 30 degrees one day and drop to 13 degrees the next day. In the summer, it gets extremely hot, reaching up to 40 degrees every year, with an average around 30 degrees. Winter is worse; it always goes below zero, but it doesn't even snow! Later in the day, it can reach 26 degrees. Here's a hint: it's the place where "Four Seasons in One Day" was set. It's not the hot weather, the cold, the wind, or the rain that's terrible. It's the fact that the weather changes are sometimes so extreme that they make you sick. If you want to live in Australia just for the weather, I suggest you move to Brisbane or some other subtropical/mediterranean place. The northern parts get too hot in the early/late summer, and then winter, or should I say mid-summer, is a bit too hot for August. For example, Darwin, and the southern parts are much more temperate, like Melbourne. Brisbane, Adelaide, or Perth might be the only places in Australia with decent weather.

If you go to Darwin in summer, of course it's going to be extremely hot so if you want to visit there, do so in winter. People who live there love the weather and everyone has air conditioning. Melbourne has the worst weather - 4 seasons in one day - but it still called the most livable city in the world which is weird but it does have a great arts scene. The weather in the rest of the country is great, far better than nearly all the other countries in the world.

So hot. We have had 50° days. Then the next day can be pouring rain. Right now Brisbane is flooding and a few months ago we were in a drought. Last year we had so many bush fires that killed nearly 30% of wildlife. I can't believe Australia isn't higher. But I would never move it's the best place ever. If you live near coast or in a good area the weather is phenomenal. Also there aren't as many deadly animals as you think I've never seen a snake or kangaroo or a huntsman spider. Overall a good country if you pick the right place.

You got to admit, Australia is a very good country, but it has it's ups and downs with the weather. It is definitely not the coldest, but some areas during winter can reach quite low temperatures but it still can't compete with the UK, US and Russia with the coldest weather. I think the problem is the heat. Sure, every place is hot in summer but you should come up to Darwin, NT and see what that is like. I live in Melbourne, VIC, which isn't the sunniest of places, but it is such a good city and it has been awarded the most livable city ever. I have been to Darwin once in my whole entire life and that is probably because the weather is hot over there. I got off the plane at 2 in the morning and it was 18 degrees! It was so hot, and don't get me started on the middle of the day. Most of the time we just stayed inside because it felt like some ginormous fireplace outside. The hottest Darwin has ever been was 52 degrees and the coldest it has been is 10 degrees. 10 degrees is not cold ...more

It rains almost every day, the heat will literally cook you alive.

Stormy severe weather and to much rainfall to flooding tornados can touch down cyclones very stormy

No foreigner has survived here more than 2 years. If you survive winter, then comes summer, what may be even harder to survive.

Ireland's year-round cold, rain and dark are well known, but what they don't tell you about is the near-constant wind. Although we don't get majorly violent storms, there's a breeze or gust nearly always constantly blowing. It gets down your neck and up your cuffs and keeps the chill up against you day and night.

When I visited Ireland, it rained every day & the locals said it had rained every day for a year.

Been all over the world and this is the worst I've ever seen. Rain, wind and cold.

I arrived in October 2020. They said wait till summer - it's amazing. It's 2023 and I'm still waiting.

Too damn hot and humid, you would drench yourself in sweat if you dare go out for just 5 minutes. Doesn't help that this is an extremely built-up place that absorb a ton of heat, or the fact that it's a city-state which means there's no escaping the hellish climate other than emigration

Hot, humid hell. Do not go here unless you want to bask yourself in nasty sweat

I don't think Libya should be in this list.. it has moderate climate.! Little cold in winters. And little warm in summers..! There is no autumn or spring..
Yes I know libya hold the record for highest temperature recorded but that's not everyday.! No humidity at all..!
The difference in highest and lowest temperature of the day is very less in winters.

Do you like windy rainy Autumn type weather for about 9 months a year?
Do you like a lot and lots of wind almost every day?
Cloudy rainy days something you love?
Did I mention the wind already, yes it always is windy, always!

Its either the most predictable autumn like weather for weeks.

Or you have days every weather type of all seasons combines happens during 1 day.

starting of hot and sunny in the morning, cold and rainy in noon, snow and windy in the evening and maybe as bonus some thunder a night.

I vote, but to disapprove. Summers aren't bad at all, and 2018 was dry and hot from May until October, with a piping-hot summer. Granted, winters are bad but absolutely not temperature-wise. Winters are rarely colder than 10 degrees and spring season almost starts halfway February. Also rainfall isn't that bad if you compare it to a plethora of other countries. The weather is much worse in the Alps or Scandinavia. Keep it real!

Humidity is perennially over 70%, average summer temperatures barely reach 25ºC, in the winter it's freezing cold but it often doesn't snow: welcome to the country with the most depressing weather in the world.
Get ready for winds that will knock you over, rain that will have you soaking within 5 minutes of walking in the open, and the worst colds known to man (you will be spending at least €20 a month on tissues to blow your nose in any given month of the year).
To add to that, there is NO way to predict the weather, and by that, I mean that the forecast can say 0% chance of rain with clear skies, and in the space of half an hour the skies could be pretty much black, thundering and pouring down with rain. We even get rain when it's sunny sunny sometimes, explain that.
Do not come to this country if you are from a place with reasonable weather, you will be disappointed, there is nothing to do about it, Dutch weather will be worse than your expectations infallibly.

Enjoy the one week where you can go outside without getting soaking wet by the rain, we call it 'summer'. It's the one week when you're like 'wait, can I wear this? Or is it too cold for that? ', you're basically always confused because it can get rainy in the matter of a bloody minute. Enjoy your pale tan. The sun only gives you enough time to become a slightly darker shade of pale. bad ass weather.

Y'all are complaining about coldness (Which is why Norway, the UK, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland are so high up on this list) But no one's complaining about the heat. Summers in Egypt are STEAMING hot! I don't know how anyone could survive them.

Highs of 45 degrees Celsius in summer. Unbearable scorching heat and very humid, air is dry and the constant sway of dust in the air makes it even more difficult to breath. Winters are cold at nights especially indoors as buildings are poorly structured with no insulation in the walls.

Cold a and rainy summer, rainy autumn, warm and rainy winter, rainy spring. Yes, here is rain almost every day.

Such a great country

Very hot in summer.

It's always strikingly burning and you might get sun cooked! Did I mention that it's always dusty?

I am a Saudi and the weather in my country is way too hot you could burn!

It's too hot, it never rains, and too many sand storms.
