The sun's a-shinin', the town's a-bustlin', yes, It's Always Sunny In Miami! When in a show the weather is completely static (except in extreme situations), this trope comes in. In shows with this trope, the current weather almost never changes, and locations with notoriously volatile weather rarely have it affect the plot. This might be because the producers don't have enough money or technology for realistic weather, or that they don't want to have hurricanes or tornadoes crashing the plot. Yes, It's Always Sunny In Miami!
Note: Anyone who believes this has never been to Florida, much less Miami. It rains a little over 60 percent of the time. You have been warned.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Related to It's Always Spring, It's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and Single-Season Country. Also a consequence of Hollywood Provincialism.

Somehow, it's always sunny in the Royal Pains Hamptons. This makes rather less sense than in Miami, although again, semi-justified by the fact that all shooting is actually on-location in the Hamptons (or at least Long Island).

CSI: NY Also played straight for the most part, but the show actually has a few non-plot driven rainy scenes. Lindsay goes for a rain-walk during the Danny/Ricki arc, and it's raining as Mac and Flack arrest a suspect in the Valentine's Day episode, "Blood Actually." Also averted in season 1's "Rain" where evidence gets washed away, and being set farther north than it's cousins, snow plays a factor in a few episodes as well.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an example, referenced right in the title. It can get very cold in Philadelphia, but the weather in the show is always sunny and warm. Even during one episode where the city is under threat of a super-storm, Frank points out that the weather is still as sunny as ever. The original short that served as a proto-pilot for the show is titled "It's Always Sunny on Television," referencing the trope even more overtly.

Neighbours has a rule that it never rains on Ramsey Street. A behind the scenes special showed that on rainy days outdoor shots are artificially lit to make it look like summer. However, it still rains in Summer Bay. One notable example is in the Hearts Divided DVD, which clearly shows that the rain was a contributing factor in Dani not being able to avoid hitting Kane. And it certainly has a lot of stormy weather. Hasn't significant portions of the town slid into the sea during various tempests (blurry on the details). Usually someone dies.

This prevails to such an extent that Metropolis is lit like Vegas at night and Gotham is overcast during the day. Both characters have commented upon it while visiting each other's cities. Animators in the DC Animated Universe once said that there was something inherently wrong in drawing Gotham on a bright sunny day.

Parodied in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where it's always Saturday afternoon on Ursa Minor Beta, everywhere except those places which have instead a perpetual early Saturday evening.
And beyond that lie the nightclubs.

CSI Verse:
Somewhat justified in CSI, seeing as how Las Vegas is in the middle of a desert. It's occasionally averted when the weather is plot-relevant.
Played straight for most of CSI: Miami. The notable exceptions are again plot-driven, "Hurricane Anthony" and "Crime Wave," which involves a tsunami.
CSI: NY Also played straight for the most part, but the show actually has a few non-plot driven rainy scenes. Lindsay goes for a rain-walk during the Danny/Ricki arc, and it's raining as Mac and Flack arrest a suspect in the Valentine's Day episode, "Blood Actually."

Averted in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The titular city is based on Miami and Key West, and it can rain occasionally. The bridges to the second island are even blocked off due to a hurricane warning.

It was always daytime in the original Pokémon Red and Blue games. The next generation fixed this. Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire went back to perpetual daytime, due to some (in retrospect, rather minor) technical problems. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl re-added the time of day feature. Pokémon Black and White retained this in addition to averting It's Always Spring, but that's a different matter entirely.)

In One Piece, there's the island of Enies Lobby, also called the "Nightless Island" because, for some reason, it's always sunny, even in the middle of a huge storm.

Parodied early in 8-Bit Theater: it is noted that it never gets dark until they go to the inn. This later becomes a plot point where the Light Warriors have a day to prepare for a fight... and Fighter immediately goes to an inn after they realize it works this way.

Regardless of the medium, it's almost always daytime in Metropolis, whereas it's almost always nighttime in Gotham City. This has a lot to do with when their respective superheroes like to do their work.
This prevails to such an extent that Metropolis is lit like Vegas at night and Gotham is overcast during the day. Both characters have commented upon it while visiting each other's cities. Animators in the DC Animated Universe once said that there was something inherently wrong in drawing Gotham on a bright sunny day.

Justified in The Golden Girls, as the series is about four older women who moved to Miami precisely because of the warmer weather. However, one episode dealt with the girls being shut in due to a hurricane, and one of the Christmas Episodes ends with it (naturally) snowing.

Zig-zagged on True Blood, at first it was widely believed that Sookie and Jason's parents were killed in a car accident during a flood, but it was later revealed that they were murdered by the vampire Warlow. Otherwise, the weather is never problematic. This is averted in the novels, where Hurricane Katrina significantly affects the lives of Louisiana's supernatural community.

You'll never find a rainy, overcast, or any other kind of day but sunny in the Miami of Burn Notice unless it's important to the plot. In fairness, however, Burn Notice emphatically averts California Doubling and Hollywood Provincialism, and is actually shot in and around Miami (the main shooting location being Hollywood, Florida, a few miles to the north). If it's sunny on Burn Notice, that means it was actually sunny in Miami on the day they were shooting.
