Basically, the weather is just wrong for what it's supposed to be. Usually it's because of something like a Weather-Control Machine, sometimes it's from an identifiable source like global warming or "El Niño", but sometimes it's just because we can't perfectly predict the weather. It's just too damn complex. Weather can be just off, with no explanation. This is usually Empathic Environment or a significant hindrance to what the characters intend. Law of Conservation of Detail ensures that strange weather can not be just a background detail. Anyway, the Weather Report certainly isn't going to predict this. Note that unusually good weather can also be Weather Dissonance. Unexpected rain in the desert or drought-stricken land, unexpected sunlight in the fog and cloud — it can be ironic, or a good omen, or the Empathic Environment responding to the Happy Ending. If cold temperature is involved, then Snow Means Cold is likely to occur. A Super-Trope to Endless Winter. |

The Mighty Thor: In Marvel Comics, the Casket of Ancient Winters is opened in the Simonson Thor era. This ends up being a godsend for continuity-mad fans to explain away appearances of winter weather in other comics that couldn't have actually happened in winter because of the floating timeline. | |

In Beauty and the Beast (2017), part of the Adaptation Expansion explains what was going on with the winter weather in the animated version: it's a magically induced winter by the Enchantress as part of the penance she imposed on the Beast. Maurice notes the anomalous weather as he flees on his horse Phillipe towards the castle. | |

In The Girl from the Miracles District, Nikita keeps noting that even though it's mid-October, the weather is still very summer-like and both migrating birds and the trees that lose their leafs are confused and behaving wrong for the season. It's implied that it's not natural and that the Norse pantheon has something to do with this, but it's never confirmed. | |

Happens all the time in the Weather Wardens books, for obvious reasons. Also, the weather tries to kill humans. To expand on this, it is stated several times across the novels that natural disasters are supernaturally drawn to Wardens. It is implied at times, and outright stated at others, that humanity did ''something'' millenia ago that pissed off Mother Nature so much that she has spent the ensuing time trying to wipe us off the face of the planet. The Wardens spend most of their time staving off these disasters...until things take a turn for the worse, mainly due to a few characters actively trying to destroy the world, open a portal to Hell, and possibly summon up a being older than the universe. |

In Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: In Small Favor, there is early and heavy snowfall. Harry suspect that Queen Mab sent it as a favor to him, to keep Summer fae from being able to overwhelm him. Harry does concede, however, that it could just be Chicago being Chicago. In Ghost Story, there's heavy snow in Chicago in May. This is because Mab is in town, specifically, on Demonreach, keeping Harry's body alive. |

In the Discworld series: Inverted in Thief of Time, when Igor and Jeremy need a thunderstorm to start the Glass Clock. Jeremy keeps claiming that they don't have one (for reasons of his own, mostly to spend more time with Myria LeJean), but Igor points out that they have had several available in the last few weeks, none of which Jeremy has used. In The Truth, Otto bemoans the fact that In Ankh-Morpork, unlike in Ãœberwald, you don't get a roll of thunder anytime you say something dramatic (or just mention the word 'castle'). About halfway through the book, this does start happening. He's thrilled. |

As part of the central gameplay mechanic in Persona 4, multiple segments are dedicated to watching fog roll in Inaba after a constant rainstorm. This fog comes from a point in which the Midnight Channel has an overflow of fog, which rolls over, causing an extremely dense fog in Inaba, even in the middle of summer. It eventually becomes lampshaded when the local weather channel decides that this phenomenon is bad for public health and warns the people, which is partially correct due to the people thrown within the TV end up with lowered stamina, but this is otherwise Insane Troll Logic. The True Ending route takes this one step further: an unusual fog creates a "Cloudy Day" that would have lasted forever if taken the OK/Bad Endings, and it's the exact same kind as the Midnight Channel's. | |

Amnesia: Memories takes place in August and should be among the warmest months of the entire year in Tokyo. But several characters note in the routes that it's unusually cold for the time of the year. Joker World explains the reason. In order to fulfill Ukyo's wish, Lord Nhil turned back time for the world, but didn't have enough power left to turn the world itself back — so while the calender may claim August, it's actually experiencing mid-to-late Autumn weather. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Seasons in the series don't correspond to real life. Each season lasts for years and years on end, with no apparent set length, though it's mentioned that since dragons went extinct over a hundred years ago, summers have been progressively getting shorter and winters longer. At the start of the series, Westeros has been experiencing an unusually long summer (nearly a decade), but many people fear that it's a prelude to an even longer winter to come. Winter officially starts in the epilogue of A Dance with Dragons, when snow begins to fall on King's Landing. The tale of the Long Night, which lasted an entire generation, happened in the midst of a very long winter. The purported instigator of this event, the Others, are believed to come from the Land of Always Winter in the far north of Westeros. |

In the Gaunt's Ghosts novel Ghostmaker, the Ghosts are repeatedly hit with Chaos-inflicted weather. Once it downed Gaunt's shuttle, leaving Corbec in command for the first time. At the end of the novel, an eldar summoned a storm to provide shelter for the regiment he wanted to use; it ran wildly and killed many of the troopers. Similarly at the end of Honour Guard, the arrival of Chaos forces was pressauged by a terrible storm. In Blood Pact, the snow. Not too anomolous. On the other hand, it stops during actual attacks by Chaos forces. |

Pokémon: Can be invoked with through the various moves and abilities which generate weather effects. Harsh sunlight underground? Check. Hail in the desert? Yep. Gale force wind indoors? Of course. Sandstorm in the sky? Certainly. Rain on the seafloor? Why not? Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire has, towards the end of the plot, one of the Olympus Mons go berserk and causing either a drought with intense sunlight, or a vicious storm in the eastmost part of the region. Emerald instead has both of the box-art Pokémon of Ruby and Sapphire fighting each other, resulting in the weather going back-and-forth between rain and sun. And in Pokémon Black and White we have Thundurus and Tornadus, who cause violent downpours and windstorms, respectively, wherever they go, be they routes bordering deserts or open sea. |

Near the end of How to Train Your Dragon Hiccup describes the climate along these lines: "It snows nine months out of the year and hails the other three." And yet it's been bright and sunny the entire film. It rains in one scene, but that's the closest it gets to snowing or hailing. This is because that was hyperbole; in the beginning, Hiccup narrates (falsely, for dramatic purposes) that the place he lives is perfect, aside from the awful dragons. In the end, he turns it around by saying (falsely, for dramatic purposes) that the dragons are the only remotely tolerable thing about his home. | |

The Rocky and Bullwinkle story arc "Topsy Turvy World" featured this. The heroes first notice something is wrong when the weather in their hometown of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota gets so warm that the snow melts. This is believed to be impossible to the point that no thermometer in town goes above 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The heroes soon discover that weather is crazy all over the world and soon find out why. So much snow has fallen on the polar ice caps at the North Pole that the now top heavy Earth has tilted sideways causing the North Pole to now be at the equator and the tropical island of Riki Tiki was now the new North pole. | |

Can potentially happen in the Total War games, with intense rainstorms in the desert or snowstorms. You can actually try to control the conditions a little bit using the "wait" option during deployment, which can be useful to avoid battlefield-covering fog - unless, of course, you want fog, rain, or snow for dramatic reasons. | |

Characters in Bride of the Monster note that the near-constant rain is unnatural for their area. At one point Dick Craig and his partner Marty discuss the situation. "Something strange about this rain. Lightning's been going crazy too. Maybe, it's like the papers say- all these atom bombs explosions, distorted the atmosphere". It is implied that Vornoff's experiments may be affecting the weather, but the lines seem to also reflect then-contemporary anxiety about climate change. | |

In Brothers of the Snake, rainstorms hit a desert planet during a coronation. At first this is taken as a good omen, but as it grows serious, the people are disturbed and riot. Chaos forces had assassinated the old queen in order that the Requisite Royal Regalia might be removed from what it was protecting. | |

In the Season 3 episode "Amends" of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it snows in the Southern Californian town of Sunnydale. It's implied to be a result of Divine Intervention. In Angel's spin-off, Jasmine takes credit for it. | |

This trope is more or less half the plot of the second Touhou fighting game, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. Each weather type also has an effect on the game's mechanics. Before this, the plot of Perfect Cherry Blossom starts with snowstorms still occurring in May. And after this, the plot of Hidden Star in Four Seasons revolves around all of Gensokyo being awash with all the four seasons in midsummer. |

The opening of NieR sets up the whole post-apocalyptic thing by having the city covered in snow. Then pointing out that it is the middle of summer. | |

Seasons in the series don't correspond to real life. Each season lasts for years and years on end, with no apparent set length, though it's mentioned that since dragons went extinct over a hundred years ago, summers have been progressively getting shorter and winters longer. At the start of the series, Westeros has been experiencing an unusually long summer (nearly a decade), but many people fear that it's a prelude to an even longer winter to come. Winter officially starts in the epilogue of A Dance with Dragons, when snow begins to fall on King's Landing. | |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire has, towards the end of the plot, one of the Olympus Mons go berserk and causing either a drought with intense sunlight, or a vicious storm in the eastmost part of the region. Emerald instead has both of the box-art Pokémon of Ruby and Sapphire fighting each other, resulting in the weather going back-and-forth between rain and sun. | |

LEGO Harry Potter has a specific weather pattern for each year, lasting all year long. In fact, only years 1 and 5 have clear skies. Those Hogwarts students better start taking their Vitamin D. | |

In Blade Runner 2049, heavy snowfall in excessively sunny Los Angeles is just one of several indicators of how severely Earth's climate has deteriorated. It does a good job at setting the stage for the Crapsack World the audience is about to dive into. | |
