Top 10 U.S. States with the Worst Weather

As I agree that Ohio weather sucks, I have to point out that not enough emphasis was placed on the damned HUMIDITY! This wretched state is humid ALL the time! Even in the winter, which makes for a wetter-feeling winter and not a nice dry cold that's easier to tolerate.

I must say we have no winter anymore also (and never a fall). We have maybe 2 weeks (total) of what you'd call real cold temperatures and the rest is usually in the 40s or 50s. It never snows anymore and if it does, it's more icy which only creates hell for road conditions.

But oh, the humidity! It literally SMACKS you in the face when you walk outside! It's like hitting a brick wall of sticky, hot, wet miserableness! You can't breathe EVER and though the temp might say it's 89 degrees, the "real feel" is always at 100 and the humidity at 90%! It's absolutely unbearable to be outside. So WHY do people STILL flock to live here!? As soon as my responsibilities are done here, I'M OUT! And I can't wait! Ohio sucks!

Horrible weather. The highest tornado count BY FAR among any other state. The biggest hail was found in Norman, Oklahoma (the size of a baseball).

Temperatures fluctuate between below freezing to 120 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. Weather reports are inconsistent. One day it could be below freezing with a chance of snow, the next day it could feel like the heat death of the universe.

Don't get me started on the humidity. In terms of location, Oklahoma gets the brunt of the humid air that comes from the Gulf. It doesn't help that we are also situated next to the Rocky Mountains, which results in cold, dry air.

This state is miserable. It's hotter and more humid than Florida in the summer. Although the snow is minimal in the winter, the icy, cold wind never stops. I lived in Traverse City, Michigan, for eight years and can honestly tell you that the winters there are much more pleasant.

In addition, there is nothing to do in Iowa. There are very few natural lakes in the entire state, and the people are not Iowa nice. They are the same miserable losers you will find anywhere else in this decaying country.

The summers are intense and unrelenting, even at night. An average day in August is about 100°F, and an average night is around 80°F. It's rare that it rains in July or August, but if it does, it will only drive the temperature down to about 85°F at most, and the humidity will be 80%.

Winters are mild, but for those of us who like snow, they're full of disappointment. There are a lot of days that are cold enough for snow, but it just won't fall. Then the days in February with temperatures in the 80s and even 90s prove you're not completely safe from summer weather at any time of year. These days are a depressing reminder of what is to come in a few months.

Spring and fall sometimes have somewhat moderate temperatures, but it rains a lot. During the peak of the seasons, there can be two or three days a week with thunderstorms, tornadoes, and occasional hail storms. I like falling asleep to the sound of distant thunder, but the weather can keep you indoors and even cause property damage.

I hate the cold. I live in Tennessee, and even the short, mild winters are too much for me. I can't imagine how bad Alaska would be, and to add to that, how gloomy it would be.

There is a reason this state has the highest concentration of pilots.

-30s in the winter? No thanks. Dark skies and seasonal depression. I bet a lot of people drink there.

Indiana has about five nice (by California standards) days per year. The other 360 days consist of freezing cold winds, snow, rain, sleet, hail, tornadoes, persistent heavy gray clouds, unbearable humidity in summer, mosquitoes, sweat bees, wasps, relentless pestering flies, and armies of ants.

No partially nice day goes without rain ruining it. If it is sunny in Indiana, it means rain is close behind. Otherwise, it's just too cold to be outside in a t-shirt.

We have fake spring and fall. The seasons don't start normally. It takes a while to get spring weather, and when summer comes around, it is so hot and sometimes we don't get rain for a while.

I think we can all unanimously agree that Illinois has the worst weather in not just the United States, but also in the entire world. For example, on Monday it is cloudy, on Tuesday it is snowy, on Wednesday it is literally burning hot outside, and on Thursday, it is windy. Some areas like Chicago literally snowed over 25 inches in 2011.

Global warming is not helping this problem because there are many floods and heat waves at any given time. So I think we can all agree that Illinois has worse weather than any other U.S. state and probably one of the worst places in the world due to this madness. I personally think that non-native Ohio people who voted Ohio as having the worst weather are just trolls. Not to mention that there are a ton of memes that agree with this statement. Also, one week, Illinois is drier than the Sahara Desert and the next week Illinois gets more humid than Brazil.

Having lived in eastern Missouri all of my life, I can agree 100% to this. The climate here is challenging, dismal, and not fit for humans. The humidity is atrocious most of the year, even when it hasn't rained for two weeks. And then there is the heat. Why does it get so hot in the summer? Actually, much of the Midwest is like this.

My good friend from Puerto Rico thought he left hurricanes when he moved to St. Louis over 25 years ago. Nope. They still reach up this far north if they hit the Gulf hard enough. Most, if not all, humans should leave the state and leave it to wildlife, which doesn't seem to have a problem with it. We never seem to have a normal spring, which can differ by as much as 4-6 weeks year to year. I guess this is the downside to living in the middle of a huge continent.

If you're an "indoor person" you'll love Western Pennsylvania.

There's no such thing as a truly nice day here. There's always something annoying going on. For example, if the temperature is reasonable, it will be overcast and raining on and off all day. If the humidity isn't set to "sauna", it's incredibly windy. If it isn't windy, the black flies and mosquitoes will eat you alive while you sweat to death in the stagnant, humid fart-smelling air. On the off chance it's actually sunny, it will also be either freezing cold or blazing hot. Winters, on the other hand, are just miserable, dark and cold with almost no snow on a regular basis. It's not uncommon at any point in the year to go a week or more without seeing the sun at all.

The wind blows all the time! The local meteorologists like to downplay it and call it a breezy day if wind gusts don't top 40 mph. The wind literally starts blowing at the end of February and doesn't stop until summer.

There are days during the sweltering heat and humidity of the summer when a little breeze would be nice, but it's deathly still. In the fall and winter, when cold fronts come barreling in from the north, the extreme cold and wind cut through you like a knife.

One day it's freezing, and the next I'm dying of a heat stroke. Not to mention the wind! If you have anything in your backyard, you better nail it to the ground.

I'm stuck here near the Gulf of Mexico. Summer is absolutely miserable with no temperature change except when it rains. When it rains, the temperature drops into the mid-80s, and after the intense lightning storm every afternoon, the humidity spikes back up even higher.

The humidity is so constant you feel unproductive. You can sit outside, doing nothing, and within a minute or two you are sweating like a pig. No wonder AC was invented here. There are almost no seasons, with central Florida going into the 60s during winter. Florida is nothing but heat and humidity.

This is my state, and I have to agree that it has some extreme weather here and there. Winters are absolutely cold. You could easily die of hypothermia. Frequent arctic blasts from Canada come down to the state and cause snowstorms. One time, I was playing on my 3DS, trading Pokemon online, until the power went out and I had to find a source. The roads can get really icy as well.

Summers here are absolute hell. You can easily drown in your own sweat, even if you head to the Jersey Shore for a dip in the ocean. One time, I was so hot I had to guzzle down 5 pints of water. I'm not kidding. Spring is decent, and autumn is the best season because of the fall colors. Love the state for the most part, hate the weather.

Moved here to Little Rock from Houston. Quite a bit cooler overall, but the temperature is not bad. Tornado warnings and watches are beyond my counting capabilities. I have lived in Florida and Texas my whole life and never considered a tornado shelter, but now have two - one for home and one for work. I am sure there are worse tornado states (Oklahoma, Kansas), but if coming to this area, beware - a tornado alert is as common as the beauty of the Natural State.

If you like no break at night because the dew point doesn't let up, all the southern states are the worst. I lived in Cali and Washington State, and those places are amazing compared to Ark. This whole list is bogus.

Why is this state so far down? Let me welcome you to Wisconsin. January is when the real winter usually begins. Rain is not uncommon, followed by a 30-degree drop to freeze everything, followed by snow. A false spring usually arrives in April, followed by more snow or cold grayness. May and June are likely to have a few nice days. You will lose pints of blood to mosquitoes the rest of the summer. The humidity reaches southern levels during cold and hot days.

September and October have a 'summer return' which can often be the nicest part of the year, minus insects. Trees are bare from November through April all over again. This year I witnessed -34 to -12 for about a week for the first time in my 40-year life. Unless you're from Illinois and seeking refuge, don't move here, just visit.

Live here for a few years, and you'll know what cold feels like. If you live in the northern part of the state, you experience cold like no other state except Alaska. Our three weeks of spring are the only time of year with decent weather, when everything is wet from melting snow and rain.

During spring, 45 degrees feels like shorts weather because the winter is so cold it feels like a heat wave.

PS: This list is just a place for people like me to vent because we're fed up with our state's current weather.

I've lived in Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Germany, and Iraq. Of all these places, Kansas has the best weather. It's like Minnesota but with mild winters, less humid summers, and a longer summertime. Plus, you still get some snow to play in.

There are some states with colder winters and some with hotter summers than Nebraska gets, but I've never been to a state that gets unbearably miserable heat and bitter cold like Nebraska. The summers are humid and can hover in the mid-to-upper 90s (and a few years ago there were days and days in the 100s). The winters are usually within 20 degrees above or below 0 (-16 in my hometown the other night!) with bitter wind. Oh, and also the tornadoes.

This would be #1 if it weren't for the fact that few are dumb enough to live here, so not many people voted. Spend your entire winter scooping snow while it's below freezing, then spend your entire summer scratching mosquito bites in muggy heat waves. If you have any time left, you'll spend it in a shelter while you wait for the tornado or flood to pass.

Here was literally the order of the seasons last academic school year: summer, winter, spring, winter, summer. Yes, you heard me correctly. In late September, we got a heat wave and it was 90 degrees and humid, which made it super unbearable. Summer in Michigan went on through early October, where it was in fact pleasant, about 70 degrees and partly cloudy. By the end of October, it was winter! You can tell when it is winter in Michigan because the sky is gray and it is super cold, and sometimes you'll get proper snow.

The weather stayed like that until one week in mid-February, where it was 60 degrees and sunny. After that one week, though, more winter weather followed lasting until late April. What also makes me mad is instead of the proper snowfalls happening in December or January, they happen in April or early November! About a month later in late May, it was 95 and humid! It is not common to have a year with weather like that in Michigan. What's also ironic is that I've lived in Oklahoma and have visited Texas many times in my life, yet Michigan is where all the tornadoes seem to happen for our family.

Georgia experiences a wide range of potentially severe weather conditions due to its subtropical location and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. This can lead to hot, humid summers, occasional hurricanes, tornadoes, and unpredictable temperature shifts throughout the year.

The frequent thunderstorms and potential for flooding in certain areas make Georgia's weather challenging for some people to adapt to.

Georgia regularly faces many types of natural disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, severe storms, wildfires, and floods.

Summer is too hot every day, even if it rains, no exceptions. Rated one of the hottest in the nation. Also, in the spring and fall, you can expect that sometimes it'll be in the 60s or 70s one day and in the 30s the next. That happens every year, multiple times.

This should be in the top five. We have had some of the worst tornadoes in US history and we can have bad hurricanes.

Alabama has some of the worst weather in the country!

I grew up in Seattle and am used to it, but this winter it was as if a gray blanket was draped over us for seven months straight. It drizzles or rains almost every day. It's depressing. The summers are perfect, though.

Rain for eight months straight. During the winter months, the sun doesn't come up until 9 AM. Even then, it's usually too cloudy to see the sun. Sunset is at 4 PM for months at a time. Everything is always just cold and damp. All. The. Time.

The temperature is pretty good, but it's super rainy.

You want to live somewhere where you can't leave the house and be active outside until well after dark from May to mid-October? Then Arizona is for you. In July through late September, when you take a deep breath during the day, you feel like you are burning your lungs. After 11 p.m., when you go for a walk or a jog, it may still be 110 degrees, but the sun isn't beating down on you. Daily lows during the summer are seen from 4:30 a.m. to 5:45 a.m., then you play golf or tennis.

I hate the heat. I live in New England and even the lukewarm, short summers are too much for me. I can't imagine how bad Arizona in the summer is.

Maryland has the worst weather anywhere. And I speak from experience, as I've been to most of the lower 48 states.

You can never enjoy a whole season of weather because:

It's hot and humid in the summer.

Cold in the winter, regardless of if it snows or not. You can even have bright, sunny days in the winter but (it will be) cold as anything you've ever felt.

In the spring, you may get one week of California weather. They never complain about the weather in California, so what am I still doing here?

The differences in the seasons are way too much. First thing, it's summer and it's humid, and you're thinking "I wish it were cooler". Then the winter is brisk and terrible, and all you can think is "Oh man, if only it were hot outside". You can never get used to one climate like you can in Florida.

Six inches of rain in two days followed by a week of hot, humid, sunny weather - rinse and repeat. It's at least as hot and humid as South Florida, if not more so, in summer (May to October). Winters are colder and wetter than in Florida or Texas. Plus, it can be 70 degrees for a week in January, only to plummet to 18 overnight after plants start growing.

The humidity is horrible! There's no snow, tons of floods, and just overall bad weather.

Hurricanes, floods, and inconsistent weather.
