Real Life has its share of dangerous or unusual weather, which can be integrated into the plot. Storms can do untold damage on land and sea, acid rain devastates the environment, sandstorms bring desert travel to a halt and heavy rain makes everyone feel a bit gloomy. But sometimes this isn't enough.
This trope covers bizarre and deadly forms of weather that wouldn't normally occur on Earth. This might be because it's caused by something in the setting (e.g. mountains that storms blow shards of volcanic glass down from). This typically helps world-build and make it more unique (it's hard to get more detailed than by mapping out the ecosystem). It can also be something clearly unnatural within the setting (e.g. aliens have turned all the water in the clouds into hydrogen peroxide in a fiendish plot to turn everyone into bleach blondes). This makes it clear that whatever caused it is extremely powerful (it's hard to get more dangerous than by messing with the ecosystem).
Some specific types can include:
Phlebotinum Charged Storms: Huge sustained discharges of supernatural or mundane energy, including but not limited to Pure Energy from Green Rocks, Wild Magic, tears in reality (leading to Reality Warping) or Soul Power. Often weakening the boundaries between Another Dimension or a Dark World. They may also herald a Flying Dutchman.
Weird Wind: A strong breeze (or full on gale) blows something around, either in the style of a sandstorm, or a twister, spreading the effects of Green Rocks and plagues far and wide or simply shredding everything it its path.
Peculiar Precipitation: Common in both Mordor and Gaia's Lament, the land has been so damaged that even the rain falling from the sky has become poisonous, radioactive, boiling hot, or even Hollywood Acid. Less dangerous examples can still be disturbing or just plain weird. Your standard umbrella or raincoat won't protect you and in extreme cases not even a hardened environment suit will withstand the rain's corrosive properties.
Strangeshine: Something in the sky (be it a Weird Moon, a Sun, artificial satellite or mysterious comet) bombards the land with energy which can be deadly, mutagenic or just wake up the local Kaiju population.
Because of the hazardous nature of this weather, it often shows up as Hostile Weather. The more dangerous versions are common on Death Worlds and anywhere else you can find Everything Trying to Kill You. In general, this is also what you can expect to come blowing out of an Alien Sky.
Compare/contrast Death from Above (things dropping from the sky due to artificial causes, like Rain of Arrows or Orbital Bombardment), Rain of Blood (when it's literal), Perpetual Storm (an otherwise normal weather phenomenon which lasts indefinitely), and Empathic Environment where the weather reflects the fact that something dramatic is happening (the two can overlap, however, when the empathic weather is also bizarre weather).

Bartholomew and the Oobleck centres around a king who demands a new kind of weather of a group of wizards loosely attached to his court. He gets a rain of big balls of viscous goop called "oobleck" that rapidly floods the kingdom, trapping citizens and wildlife in its stickiness, as his long-suffering page boy Bartholomew Cubbins attempts to convince him to admit it was a mistake.

Sunless Skies: One often finds some harsh winds blowing through the High Wilderness that have strange effects on your vessel and its passengers/cargo.
Most common are the Peacock Wind of the Reach, that'll cause vegetables aboard to sprout and grow with edible, but unnerving, nodules, and the Candlewind that'll rot away your supplies and starve all aboard and has a reverse push on your vessel than it'd seem (as in, going against the wind is faster). Both, naturally, cause your Terror to rise.
Oh and also the Peacock Wind may be the soul of a dead sun.
The Storm That Speaks also occasionally pops up in certain places in the Reach. Think of a sentient, extremely lightning-prone hurricane with familiar whispers on its winds and with which you can strike up conversations if you're charismatic enough (or have brought gifts of bottled souls), and you've more or less got it. It's a weird entity even by this universe's standards.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has an event called an "emission" or a "blowout", the single most dangerous thing about the Zone. When one happens, after a bit of low droning sounds coming from nowhere, the sky turns blood-red, weird cloud formations suddenly take shape, lightning starts flashing chaotically, and the ground starts rumbling as massive shockwaves of energy roll across the land. This continues for several minutes, and anyone who didn't manage to find shelter in time instantly drops dead. In the original Shadow of Chernobyl, only two happen as scripted story events. In Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, however, they happen at random.

When he left the bowling alley they gave him a satin jacket as a souvenir. As he trudges towards the plant an acid rain shower hits him, disintegrating the jacket but leaving everything else untouched.

Salmon. Yes. All of that can seriously happen.

Half-Life 2 and its episodes occasionally make reference to "Portal Storms" occurring in the early days of the Alien Invasion, during which tears in reality temporarily link Earth with the plane of Xen at random places. This results in widespread infrastructure damage due to Telefragging and Portal Cutting, and also generates massive mundane thunderstorms as an exotic alien atmosphere materializes, interacts, and reacts with Earth's atmosphere.

The Stormlight Archive:
Highstorms, solid walls of wind and water sweeping from east to west that scour away any trace of soil, kill anyone caught unprotected, and carry with them the godlike spren who charge exposed gems with Stormlight. They aren't actually separate storms at all, but a single storm that constantly circles the globe.
Words of Radiance: The desperate Parshendi unleash the Everstorm, an even nastier highstorm that travels in the opposite direction and destroys the very ground when the two collide.
Rhythm of War shows that Shadesmar has its own weather patterns, which are nothing like any weather in the Physical.

Dungeons & Dragons:
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. Not to mention Hostile Weather while they take the egg back.
In Elder Evils, one of the more common Signs of the End Times is unnatural weather. The specifics vary from case to case, but can include unseasonal weather extremes, destructive whirlwinds, oddly colored clouds and lightning, and rains of fire, objects, slime or living animals.
Forgotten Realms: In The Savage Frontier, Wizard Weather in the High Forest 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.
Planebreaker: The Storm of the Styx is a wandering demonic invasion housed in a tornado's cloak. When it appears in a world of the Material Plane, high winds and rampaging demons devastate an area. The storm usually lasts for a few days, often tracing a river's course until it reaches a lake or large body of water, before fading.

It was considered a Good Bad Bug and, naturally, players found ways to weaponize it, mostly by forcing goblins to go through it (as they try to find the fastest way into your fortress) and sending male cats to eat vermin remains to have all of their fat melt out of their bodies and kill them, thereby removing two problems (goblins attacking and "catsplosion") at once and letting your dorfs profit off of their deaths.
Evil regions have a 50% chance of having freakish weather, which can be either a Rain of Blood, toxic goop, or clouds of enthralling dust. Regardless of its type, anyone caught inside will complain of experiencing unnatural weather. Unless the Fun gets them first, that is.

Fallout 4: The weather system (which mostly simulates normal weather) will sometimes subject the player to radiation storms, which randomly cause radiation poisoning while they're outside. This is due to the Glowing Sea, a massive patch of irradiated hell created when a Chinese nuke detonated outside of Boston. The radiation storms are so powerful that they travel all the way up to Bar Harbor, Maine, a whopping 285 miles.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has Weather Report. His Stand which is also named Weather Report, can control the weather to his liking. This results in situations such as a storm raining poisonous frogs and eventually taking it to the extreme by creating rainbows that implant subliminal messages into people that make them think they're snails and then they begin to transform into snails.

Numenera:
The Iron Wind is a storm of airborne Gray Goo, malfunctioning and mad, that transforms everything it touches into surreal and horrific forms when it doesn't simply unmake it completely.
The welkerwind is a fierce, angry blow that storms down off the Black Riage to the Slant Milieu almost constantly, day in and day out, to the point that the trees bend sideways, the mountains point their tops toward the ground, and creatures become stooped and hunched.
The Westwind is a corkscrewed tornado that constantly moves in the Caecilian Jungle and carries trees, animals and all manner of debris, changing its size depending on what it holds.
When the winds rise in the Jagged Wastes, they gather the glass shards on the ground and carry them along like tiny razors and needles. After such a storm, one can find the skeletons of unlucky travellers, covered in tattered, bloody flesh.
In the dimension of New Yenth, all living things are insects of some kind, and so is a good deal of the weather. Most clouds are in fact swarms of tiny, biting insects called dalds. Occasionally these give way to huge dark "thunderheads", whose droplets are each condensed around a flying insect. These sometimes "rain" to the ground in voracious swarms that will devour anything that doesn't find cover.

Because of that, it's wracked by "tearrors" whenever the Fold kicks up a storm, unleashing monsters and random mutations on the inhabitants. They have weather almanacs to predict when they'll kick up. Sometimes they're even accurate.

Courage the Cowardly Dog: In "Little Muriel" is plagued by tornadoes (which is mundane in Kansas) that de-age anyone swept up in them (which isn't) and can be stopped by being tripped. The episode ends with a sudden tidal wave washing over Nowhere, which is entirely illogical, considering Nowhere is in Kansas, nowhere near any body of water large enough to cause a tidal wave to surge over the entire town. Courage even lampshades this by remarking "Crazy weather we've been having, huh?"

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: The island of Vvardenfell is regularly covered in ash storms, where the wind picks up the soot and dust from the Red Mountain volcano in the middle of the island. However, until the main quest of the game is resolved, the normal ash storms are replaced with "blight storms" — ash storms that additionally infect everyone caught out in the open when they are hit with the Blight and Corprus diseases. (Though this cannot happen to the player character. It was supposed to be a gameplay mechanic, but had to be axed due to technical limitations.)

The Weirdstone of Brisingamen: The climactic action takes place in a world where "normal" rural Cheshire in England overlaps with the older Faerie world. Even though it is early spring, the Mara, a sort of ice troll, bring the "fimbulwinter" with them, seeking to trap the heroes in the open: the world is beset with a magically-generated blizzard and seasonally unrealistic snow, ice and subzero temperature. note Garner originally set the books in the very early 1960's, when Britain had a series of incredibly foul, cold, icy, winters. For Boneland, the final book in the Alderley trilogy, he appears to have Retconned the action of Brisingamen to the spring of 1969 when a very late unseasonal winter surge gripped Northern Europe right into early April.

Fallen London:
Sunless Sea: The shores of the Elder Continent are intermittently troubled by the Waxwinds, carrying molten wax from somewhere closer to the Mountain of Light. It prevents your ship from using its full speed and is described as scarring your skin, but fortunately doesn't cause any serious damage; unfortunately, it also doesn't impede Blue Prophets from swarming your crew.
Sunless Skies: One often finds some harsh winds blowing through the High Wilderness that have strange effects on your vessel and its passengers/cargo.
Most common are the Peacock Wind of the Reach, that'll cause vegetables aboard to sprout and grow with edible, but unnerving, nodules, and the Candlewind that'll rot away your supplies and starve all aboard and has a reverse push on your vessel than it'd seem (as in, going against the wind is faster). Both, naturally, cause your Terror to rise.
Oh and also the Peacock Wind may be the soul of a dead sun.
The Storm That Speaks also occasionally pops up in certain places in the Reach. Think of a sentient, extremely lightning-prone hurricane with familiar whispers on its winds and with which you can strike up conversations if you're charismatic enough (or have brought gifts of bottled souls), and you've more or less got it. It's a weird entity even by this universe's standards.

Predation: Time terrors are giant storms that appear suddenly and with little to no warning. Each storm seems to be self-contained, as if housed within an invisible barrier. Reports from eyewitnesses outside the storm barrier talk about seeing the lightning coming right for them and then disappearing before it arrives, or seeing a strong wind devastating objects right in front of them, without ever feeling so much as a slight breeze on their own skin.

Of Crystal Shards and Dust: Due to Lucis' appearance in Remnant, several unusual weather phenomena begin to occur. These range from from thunder storms and water twisters to giant earthen spires rising from the ground and icebergs being reported off the coast of Vacuo — even though, according to Ozpin, Vacuo hasn't had any cold weather in the last hundred years.

Darth Bane: Path of Destruction: Bane encourages the Sith fighting on Ruusan to summon a Force-powered storm that levels the forest the Republic forces were occupying. The combination of the destruction and the miasma of evil energy also drives the formerly peaceful native "bouncers" insane, turning them from bringers of comfort to feared and pitied psychic scourges.

Metroid: Acid rain is a recurring hazard on the surface areas of planets:
Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission: Acid rain appears on the surface of Zebes. This rain isn't actually dangerous enough to hurt you.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: More acid rain appears on the Space Pirate Homeworld. Unlike other games, you need a specific acid-proof "hazard shield" item to protect Samus from it. Enemies however seem immune to the rain.

Invisible Sun: Satyrine has strange weather systems, but none hold a more significant place in the minds of its inhabitants than the storms that bring keyfalls, where keys rain from the sky.

Terraria: In words generated with the special seeds "Don't dig up" or "Get fixed boi," rain and wind will occur underground, in the layer that is meant to simulate the surface of a normal world. The actual surface will not have the given weather effect. No explanation is given for this.

Dragonriders of Pern: The greatest danger on the eponymous alien planet is "Thread", a type of spore that eats any organic matter it touches. Whenever a neighbouring planet orbits through Pern's sky, Thread falls, ravaging all farms and forests in its path. There is nothing the Pernese won't do to escape it, including moving continents and genetically engineering an entire species (dragons, whose fiery breath is one of few things that can destroy it).
