This is a trope for when the characters are explicitly beset by hostile, driving rain, tornadoes, dust storms, or other oppressively inconvenient weather, which only lets up at sudden, inconvenient increments, often to indicate they are in a Hungry Jungle or other hostile environment. The characters will spend their time asking "when will this ever let up?" When it does let up, it will start back up again the minute they comment on it. Related to When It Rains, It Pours. Even mentioning it is Tempting Fate. If the mission depends on Phlebotinum, transportation, or an easily-damaged MacGuffin, weather of this sort will ruin whatever conditions are needed for the original objective. They may sometimes be artificially made. Also useful for preventing rescues; compare Snowed-In. Deadly Dust Storm and Winter of Starvation are Sub-Tropes. Contrast Empathic Environment tropes, where the weather merely sets the mood rather than actually influencing events. Compare Weather of War, Caught in the Rain, and Genius Loci. The opposite of Weather Saves the Day. Not to be confused with Cumulonemesis, which is about actively hostile, animate weather. |

Adventure Time: In "Rainy Day Daydream", Finn and Jake are kept inside their tree-house when it starts to rain knives. In "Bad Jubies", Finn, Jake, BMO, and Lumpy Space Princess are stuck together in a shelter during a massive storm described as all sorts of bad weather rolled into one. The storm even turns out to be sentient and aggressive, but Jake calms it down with his bird-calls. |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: One of the most dangerous things that can happen in the Zone is an event variously called an "emission" or a "blowout". It manifests with phenomena such as low droning noises, weird cloud formations, and lightning flashes, and then the sky turns blood-red and you'll notice that every single NPC around, regardless of faction or even if they were in the middle of a gunfight, will immediately drop what they were doing and start running. If you don't follow suit and manage to get into shelter before the shockwaves hit... that's it, you're dead. (As will be demonstrated by any unlucky NPC's who didn't make it in time.) And these things happen at random in 2/3 of the Stalker games. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, thunderstorms will occasionally roll across Hyrule, and it is not a good idea to be outside in one, especially while wearing metal equipment. Even ordinary rain is problematic, since wet surfaces become harder to climb. The rain becomes a major plot point when first traveling to Zora's Domain, as a malfunctioning Divine Beast Vah Ruta is making it rain constantly with its trunk. | |

The Terror. Shortly before they encounter the monster for the first time, a scouting party on King William Island is bombarded by a fierce lightning storm from which they can only cower in their tents in terror (after throwing away the metal poles, meaning that with the canvas collapsed they get pummeled black and blue by hailstones). However that doesn't prove to be as fatal in the long run as the lengthy winters that leave them icebound and drive away any animals they could hunt. For some reason the spring thaw never happens. | |

The Girl from the Miracles District: the entire city is criss-crossed with energy lines that have some dark and foul magic buried deep down. Whenever a storm comes, it causes all of this to boil to the surface, meaning that if you're caught outside during a bad weather - or even inside, in some cases - you can be turned into a mindless monster. | |

Trouble the Water is a documentary about Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans. A young woman named Kimberly Roberts stayed in her home, because she had no transportation out of the city. But she did have a second-hand video camera, which she used to record the terrifying ordeal as the winds and rain cause the levees to rupture, flooding the city. Kimberly and her family are left trapped in their attic until her brother wades through chest-deep water to rescue them. | |

Dungeon Keeper Ami features this as a facet of the corruption effects of dungeon hearts. The effects vary from one keeper to another; for Mercury, her water and ice affinity creates a nearly constant storm of sleet and rain, another keeper, Zarekos, a vampire, creates a thick cloudcover like perpetual night. Sometimes an inventive keeper can even utilize the corruption effect to their advantage. | |

An early episode of The Pacific is only the most recent example. While everyone else contracts tropical diseases, it finally comes a clear blue day. The Gunnery Sergeant tells everyone to wait for the rain to start and shower in it. He gets undressed in the middle of the camp and lathers up, loudly reciting the Marine Rules of Conduct regarding cleanliness. Then the rain stops immediately. Gunny looks up at the sky and shouts "Is that all?" | |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, the great conqueror General Tacticus explcitly refused battle with Far Uberwald, citing this as his reason and pointing out the only fighting he was prepared to do in winter involved a gentle exchange of snowballs and a retreat to a warm well-heated room afterwards with hot drinks available. For this reason the Rodinian country remained unfought and untroubled by the Ankh-Morporkian Empire and Tacticus took care to remain on the best possible terms with the Tsars. | |

Unnatural weather in the Enchanted Woods includes a variety of damage-causing hail (black, explosive, gemstone, glowing, huge, and invisible), a dense fog that manifests an evil strangling mist, razor sleet that cuts up any creature it hits, black rain that corrodes anything it touches (including living creatures) like acid, and a blazing sun that causes exhaustion and dehydration. | |

In Codex Alera any sort of large natural phenomenon (such as volcanos, mountains or storms) has a physical manifestation called a fury. That picture up there actually happens near the end of the series. A furystorm is tearing apart the battlefield with claws of lightning and the Big Bad is nearly torn to shreds by the storm swallowing her. The rain gets so thick that flyers are almost swimming. All in all it is a bad idea to piss off the north wind. | |

The Stormlight Archive: Highstorms are massive, hurricane-like storms that blow through the land every few days, blowing from east to west and carrying the mystical Stormlight. They are so severe that the entire world has been shaped by them; ninety percent of the continent has no soil because the storms have stripped the land down to the bedrock, plants and animals look like things found underwater and can retreat into shells or burrows when threatened, and even the people build their structures in triangles with a point facing east to reduce wind drag, or in sheltered laits. One of the most dangerous parts of a highstorm is the "stormwall": the wind's leading edge, carrying trees, boulders, and anything not nailed down. It is generally accepted that being caught (or strung up as punishment) outside during a highstorm is a death sentence, but with luck and something to serve as a windbreak, it is possible to survive. In the second book, the Everstorm is summoned, which is similar to the Highstorm but it goes the opposite way, west to east, devastating a world built with the other direction in mind. It is fueled by the Cosmic Principle of Hatred and thus seems to be able to intentionally target what it destroys with red lightning often striking specific buildings while ignoring others. Plus it brings Voidspren which turn the placid and omnipresent parshmen into Voidbringers. |

The PCs have a 50% chance of bad weather each day, including blizzards, driving rain, freezing rain, cold rain, a cold snap, snow, strong winds and biting sleet. Module I12 Egg of the Phoenix. While the PCs are traveling from the Crypts of Empyrea back to Nimbortan, they will encounter a brief bizarre storm. It starts with a gale force wind, continues with rain that is almost boiling hot, then changes to razor-sharp sleet that slices exposed flesh and clothing to ribbons. When the PCs try to take the Egg back to Doc's Island, they have a 50% chance each day of having a blizzard, driving rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, strong winds or ice storm. Greyhawk campaign setting Module WG7 Castle Greyhawk. On any given day, the title edifice is beset with random nasty weather caused by druid weather control magic. It includes torrential rain, winds up to 60 m.p.h., tornadoes, hailstorms, temperatures down to -40 °F, sleet, snow, lightning storms, blistering temperatures up to 130 °F and severe dust storms.

While traveling from Stormport to the crater, the PCs will face harsh winter weather such as blizzards and whiteouts. Fully endorsed in game-master advice for the Ravenloft campaign setting, where Nature's hostility is an important tool for creating an oppressive atmosphere. Many extraplanar locations have such things as constant acidic snow and unrelenting tiny meteorite showers to ensure that unprepared low-level travelers are slain on arrival. The 3rd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide had a variety of nasty weather to throw at players, including hurricanes, tornadoes, dust storms, blizzards and thunderstorms. The Supplement books Frostburn, Sandstorm, and Stormwrack add a bunch of nasty new rules for severe weather. Forgotten Realms supplement FR5 The Savage Frontier. In the High Forest, Wizard Weather can include red snow ("that tastes like blood"), hot rain ("which boils the flesh"), blizzards in summer, exotic (invisible, multi-colored, huge, explosive, glowing and/or black) hailstones, dense fog (with evil creatures lurking within), razor-sharp sleet ("draws blood and scores metal"), black acidic rain, and desert-like blazing heat. Dungeon magazine #6 adventure "White Death". The adventure takes place in mountainous terrain in the arctic region of the planet. Each day there's a 75% chance that the weather will be so bad that it will damage the Player Characters. The damage depends upon the wind speed: the stronger the wind, the more damage the PCs take. Mayfair Games's AD&D compatible adventure Dragons of Weng T'sen. While in the Valley of Weng T'sen, the Player Characters will experience wildly variable weather that can change up to every half hour. Weather types include freezing cold, heat waves, blizzards, hail, heavy rain and thunderstorms. The weather is caused by the dreams of the Dragon Lords who lie in poisoned sleep nearby. |

Tress of the Emerald Sea: The "seas" of the world of Lumar are composed of aether spores which constantly fall from the planet's twelve geostationary moons, and the slightest drop of water causes those spores to release an explosive burst of their associated element. Naturally, this means that to be caught out in the rain is a death sentence for any ship. On most of Lumar the rains are exceedingly regular and can be predicted, but on the Crimson Sea the rain is as random as it is on most worlds in the Cosmere. | |

In The Fifth Season, the titular phenomenon is a continent-spanning hostile weather system lasting at least six months, caused by seismic activity. Highlights include years of frigid darkness, suffocating rains of ash, and acid rain that ruins anything metal; The Empire of Sanze organizes its entire culture around preparing for and enduring the Seasons. | |

The snow on Caradhras in The Lord of the Rings is explicitly hostile to the Fellowship, suggested to be the product of some kind of evil presence of the mountain itself (unrelated to Sauron or his forces). In the book, it even dumps an avalanche behind them after they leave, in case they change their mind. | |

In the Landing Series of flight simulation games (Midnight Landing, Top Landing, and Landing High Japan, in particular), the weather starts off nice and calm, but as you progress through each stage, the winds get stronger and stronger, and change directions more frequently. By the end of Top Landing, expect to see wind shears of 15 meters per second, making it extermely hard to land without going off-course. | |

Mouse Guard. Members of the title organization have to worry about this all the time. The Territories have bad weather on a regular basis in every season of the year, including snow storms (late Fall through early Spring), blizzards and ice storms (Winter), heat waves (Summer), rain (all year long), thunderstorms with possible lightning strikes and flash floods (late Spring and late Summer) and autumn storms (late Fall). Nasty weather is one of the four hazards that the GM uses to create obstacles on a mission. | |

The production of A New Hope was severely hampered by weather. On the first day of filming in Tunisia, the area was hit by the worst rainstorm in fifty years, forcing them to take a day off. Three years later while filming The Empire Strikes Back, Norway was hit by the worst snowstorm in fifty years. They filmed Luke's escape from the Wampa cave by simply opening a hallway door and having Mark Hamill run outside into the snowbank. | |

Dungeon magazine #6 adventure "White Death". The adventure takes place in mountainous terrain in the arctic region of the planet. Each day there's a 75% chance that the weather will be so bad that it will damage the Player Characters. The damage depends upon the wind speed: the stronger the wind, the more damage the PCs take. | |

Thanks to Lapis trying to delay Jasper reaching Steven's home in Chapter Forty of A Triangle in the Stars, the already-ensuing storm becomes much, much worse, bringing Jasper's ship down and in Chapter Forty-One threatening to tip over the Stan O' War II. Because of this, Stan, Peridot and Ford have to wait just outside the perimeter of the deadly waves and rain until the storm clears up before they can head on to Beach City. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the Westerosi Bizarre Seasons do not muck about being silly: they all have hostile patches, even the relatively benign "summer" (re: crippling drought, if it goes either hot and long or it's normal and you're in Dorne). It is not a good idea to stick around when the thermometer drops faster than a stone. And, that's even beyond the fact that the aforementioned Bizarre Seasons giving long, hellish winters are in play. More specifically, a sudden, localised drop means you might just be due a visit from the Others and their Wights. They like the cold. It (and a freezing fog bank) either follows them like an obedient puppy, or they just need the general conditions to be right to play with. Either way, it's hinted they can use ice and snow in ways that can turn very deadly, very quickly: their ice swords and armour are far from normal, for starters. And, then, there are whatever the legendary "ice spiders" are. Or whatever other tricks they might well have up their sleeves, like, maybe... sea-ice bridges or self-building siege-ramps. And, winter has come. Stannis Baratheon and Roose Bolton might both argue that, even without Others about, winter has become pretty sodding hostile enough around Winterfell, already — even though it's only just started. General Winter arrived at their little war rather suddenly, after all — forcing the whole siege to be where it is, for starters. Neither are all that enthused about the time or the place. Or, the conditions, for that matter. When the whole river system of the Trident and its tributaries decide to get boisterous thanks to prolonged, wet autumn weather, they don't mess about. Mature, centuries-old trees sweep down the biggest as if they're twigs. Which... can be a bit of a problem for anybody hoping to boat across (or trying to maintain bridges or causeways for whole spans of them). Arya and the Hound barely make it across before the ferry-system comes to a complete halt. It was a hairy, white-water ride the whole way, too. What the well-named Riverlands are like in spring with a winter's worth of stored melt heading their way barely bears thinking about. Heck, the North as a whole would be one giant mud bath. |

Left 4 Dead 2 has this as a gameplay mechanic in one campaign, appropriately called "Heavy Rain". After reaching the end of the level, you must then fight your way back to the starting point, through cornfields, an abandoned mill and a deserted town...all in the constant, obscuring rain and flooding of a southern hurricane. Good luck not hitting any witches when you can barely see them. Later on, the same hurricane-heavy rain has a possiblity to pop up during "The Passing". | |

The long eclipse in Pitch Black certainly picks a good time to strike, although that could be chalked up to bickering, procrastinating crew members. Then the rain starts and douses their lights. The rain also doubles as an ironic punch in the gut for the characters. In the first part of the movie, they were scrounging around trying to find water because of the brutally hot sunlight on the desert planet. When the rain finally comes it serves only to make them even more vulnerable to their enemies. Could be justified, as the eclipse probably dropped the ambient temperature low enough for atmospheric water vapor to consense for the first time in years. | |

The blizzard in Alive manages to come along just in time to kill as many passengers as starvation and cold, although this could again be chalked up to inexperienced rugby players deciding to wait out the winter. Then an avalanche! makes a beeline for the open end of the plane, wiping out most of the passengers. Truth in Television. The passengers did have these things happen to them in the real life event this movie covers. |

Pokémon: The Series: Both movies (Pokémon: The First Movie and Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns) that involve Mewtwo have him create a storm around the island he's living on. The first time to make sure only the strongest trainers that he invited make it to the island, and the second time so that people will just leave him and his fellow clones alone. The first one works (almost too well in fact, since Ash and friends almost drown) but the second storm is breached by both Giovanni and the main characters. | |

They are so severe that the entire world has been shaped by them; ninety percent of the continent has no soil because the storms have stripped the land down to the bedrock, plants and animals look like things found underwater and can retreat into shells or burrows when threatened, and even the people build their structures in triangles with a point facing east to reduce wind drag, or in sheltered laits. One of the most dangerous parts of a highstorm is the "stormwall": the wind's leading edge, carrying trees, boulders, and anything not nailed down. It is generally accepted that being caught (or strung up as punishment) outside during a highstorm is a death sentence, but with luck and something to serve as a windbreak, it is possible to survive. In the second book, the Everstorm is summoned, which is similar to the Highstorm but it goes the opposite way, west to east, devastating a world built with the other direction in mind. It is fueled by the Cosmic Principle of Hatred and thus seems to be able to intentionally target what it destroys with red lightning often striking specific buildings while ignoring others. Plus it brings Voidspren which turn the placid and omnipresent parshmen into Voidbringers. Tress of the Emerald Sea: The "seas" of the world of Lumar are composed of aether spores which constantly fall from the planet's twelve geostationary moons, and the slightest drop of water causes those spores to release an explosive burst of their associated element. Naturally, this means that to be caught out in the rain is a death sentence for any ship. On most of Lumar the rains are exceedingly regular and can be predicted, but on the Crimson Sea the rain is as random as it is on most worlds in the Cosmere. |

Mega Man X6: Rainy Turtloid's stage has acid rains occurring after you go through certain parts of the stage, that will do Damage Over Time to your character. The rains are apparently generated by special machines, that you have to locate and destroy, but not before you destroy their shield generators first. | |

Arknights: "Break the Ice" is set in the country of Kjerag and introduces blizzards, which inflicts operators with cold and buffs enemies. Ice tiles will freeze both operators and enemies if they are standing on them when a blizzard hits, and frozen enemies on ice tiles are more susceptible to push and pull effects. The game mode Reclamation Algorithm features weather, which causes a plethora of negative effects during an operation: acid rain that inflicts Corrosion damage, lightning strikes dealing True damage, scorching heat inflicting operators with Burn damage, drought that increases redeployment time and sandstorms that reduce operators' ATK stat. |
