Why is "bad weather" referred to as bad?

Question

It doesn't seem like any weather is "bad"... so why is it referred to as such?

Answer 1

I personally think that the statement 'bad weather' is biased.
I mean, I don't think storms are bad.
I love them.
It's actually just what people's perception of 'good weather' is.
Just like an opinion.

Answer 2

I think "bad" is a term relative to the comfort level a human would experience while trying to do an activity outside. So rainy, windy, and cold conditions that make walking and driving (and other activities) very difficult would be referred to as "bad". Sunny and calm weather is called "good" because you can easily do most activities out of doors with little resistance from the elements, and the actual temperature doesn't matter as much in that case, except for extreme cold or hot and humid conditions...I'd wager that even a calm sunny day where you step outside in intense heat and are instantly drenched with sweat that won't evaporate would be called "bad" weather.

The term is also used the other way...a cold rainy windy day can be referred to as "Good weather for building a fire indoors," or "Good weather for hot soup."

Answer 3

Bad in terms of weather refers to as being unpleasant to be outdoors in.

Answer 4

the weather effects us. If its hot and sunny people get "excited" and have a big smile on their face. If its cloudy and rainy, we get depressed because it can sometimes effect our plan for the day and its not nice to look at. Not fun you could say ( for most people)
