When it's damn too hot.

BTW, earthquake isn't really a type of weather.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Earthquake is not weather...... That's a geological phenomenon, has nothing to do with the atmosphere
The local weatherman, trust me I can be 99.9% right!

As a weather geek, I'm up for almost anything. But if I'm outside, moderate/heavy rain at temps between 33 and 45 is definitely not something I enjoy.

I'd probably hate snow if I grew up with it, but seeing as it's a relatively unusual phenomenon around here, I really like snow. Visiting MSP last winter, while it was below zero, was awesome!

BTW, I chose other as I assumed "hurricane" meant "tropical cyclone" (a weather phenomenon I like to track, since I'm far away from them). Because I also hate hurricane-force winds.

#1 - Drought - boring and leads to allergy problems with dust/pollen
#2 - Drizzle and overcast - depressing and annoying when running the windshield wipers (not enough moisture to run without making that scraping noise)
#3 - Sprinkles/Flurries - just a tease -- might as well not, especially in Florida winters when it comes to sprinkles, where it goes weeks without raining.

Bruce

Hot weather above 75 degrees; added humidity, muginess, wildfire smoke, etc.

Snow that is under an inch. I want substantial snowstorms!

CtrlAltDel

Hail.

Pretty much everything else I can deal with, but hail is just too damaging, especially if you're like me and don't have a garage.

Here in UT, we get everything. About the only big weather event I haven't seen here is a major ice storm, although we often have a couple days with freezing rain in the winter during an inversion (which is the one kind of weather I hate). I guess we haven't ever had a hurricane, but the remnants of Pacific hurricanes can come up during monsoon season and cause floods and severe thunderstorms.

Open up their website and it's not uncommon for their entire homepage to be devoted to everything but the weather.

Tornadoes, extremely cold weather, cold weather, extremely hot and humid weather, hot and humid weather, and rain, in that order.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Clouds, if that means overcast skies. I do enjoy thunderstorms, and sunny skies.

Cold and windy. Gotdamn, do I hate that. Easily the most painful kind of weather (to me, at least, but then again, tornadoes and such don't frequently effect me).

30 inches of rain in 27 hours. The entire region and my house floods. :(

The only thing I miss about living in the High Desert (Hesperia) is the usual dryness that accompanies heat in those parts (the very occasional monsoon coming up from the Gulf of California notwithstanding) -- there's a reason swamp coolers are prevalent in those parts.  Up here in San Jose and environs the heat is often paired with very high humidity -- when it gets over 93 degrees or so, I seem to have a permanent layer of moisture on my face, head, and forearms -- which is annoying when any kind of work need to be done (even of the paper variety!).  Doesn't bother my GF much; she works in an air-conditioned hospital -- and she lived in Atlanta for several years, so heat & humidity is second nature to her -- and as she often reminds me, there aren't any "goddam chiggers to bite you" out here on the coast -- and to suck it up!
