This hasn't been done before in this forum. With inspiration from the dream climatic averages thread that has been done before, I will present the weather averages of our worst nightmares — the dark side of fantasy climates. What weather would be the worst for you? You may also present a real climate. I will present my nightmare climate, dubbed Coffin Station:  Coffin Station is a maritime ET (tundra) climate located at 60°N in the west side of an island. It is extremely cloudy, with just 528 sunshine hours in a typical year. Maximum temperatures below 0°C and above 10°C are rare. Precipitation falls on 325 days a year. Any snow that falls will almost always melt after a few daysw. 100 km/h winds are not rare, occurring on 100 days a year. This is my nightmare climate, which is cold, cloudy, rainy and windy year-round. My actual nightmare climate is even cloudier and wetter than this, but I settled upon this level of horror so that it can be not too unrealistic. |

 Quqiqaraq lies at a depth of 3137 feet below sea level in a very small bowl-shaped depression near latitude 14N. The only way to Quqiqaraq is by helicopter. Walking is impossible since the sides of the depression are nearly vertical. Climbing down with ropes has been attempted only a handful of times and all attempts have failed due to numerous factors such as exposure, falling down, rock falls, and the local insects. Local flora consists of small poisonous undergrowth, large fungi, and plentiful moss. Besides the climate itself, insects are the primary hazard here. Geologists have concluded that Quqiqaraq lies in an extinct magma chamber. The floor is entirely composed of Gabbro. The precipitation is nearly continuous in the form of drizzle roughly accumulating to 2mm (0.08 inches) per day. Heat indexes max out at 82C (180F) in August and September. Quqiqaraq receives zero direct sunlight although the intense solar heating at higher elevations allows Quqiqaraq to maintain continuously high temperatures. Nearby climates such as Kretai are much cooler and have slightly more seasonality with significant rainfall all year. Secharidzidian scientists are still researching the factors that contribute to this unique climate. The permanent population is roughly 241, comprised entirely of research scientists and their support crews. Quqiqaraq has been populated for 29 years. Despite the very high temperatures and relatively low average precipitation total, Quqiqaraq's climate does not have a clear classification. Some have classified it as tropical rainforest (Köppen Af) and others have classified it as semi-arid (Köppen BSh). |

Of continental climates the worst is Sari's Shit Valley.

It's nicer than you think, at least it's got winter sun 
My nightmare:
A climate located at the north pole of...some planet. Probably Venus at some point in its history. Likely the sole habitable place on the planet.
Six months of sun, six months of darkness. Nearly all precipitation falls during the transitions between these.
I don't even know what the vegetation would be like. Mushrooms?
Closest thing on Earth is probably Dallol.

The climate itself isn't nightmarish, but I prefer pretty much any other continental climate posted here.

This one is a special-needs climate  Sure there are deadly climates, but as far as "would automatically survive indoors" this one takes the cake. 12 shades of November. Probably Ariete 's and Hiromant 's dream climate. You guys also both know all about Baltic Sea autumns after all.  |

 Gaybo Island is located approximately adjacent to what is more colloquially known as Umeå University, in Central Sweden; the chief station lay atop the university roof. It is has been adequately observed—and, ultimately, concluded—that the nominate subspecie(s) of Mongoloid predominating here, i.e. Homo b. wethu, are a foremost accentuator of the prodigiously torrid climate; likewise, Homo b. wethu specimens have been experimented-with in the notoriously torrid climate of South-Eastern Asia...yet not one of said specimens endured any form of perspiration in the slightest, whereby myriads of studies have concluded, thereby sealing the notion that Homo b. wethu is, truly, an anomaly of biblical proportions. |

Let's bump this thread again.  Winds can be very intense in this climate - a nice 30 mph sustained wind on a clear cold winter day is not uncommon. The weather is usually variable but can get stuck in a rut - seven or eight days of 42/35 (6/2) and heavy rain all in a row wouldn't be unheard of in May or September. In summer it can be very similar, 60/39 (16/4) or so and sunny for a month on end, leading to drought conditions. Usually it doesn't snow in summer - but the averages are there because of an occasional phenomenon known locally as "fail summer". The normal summer weather pattern gets blocked, leading to May-like conditions through the entire would-be summer season, and hence the average snowfall you see. This happens every 10 years or so on average, most recently in 2009 and 2020. |

My 2022 Nightmare Climate. The worst things ever, a frigid sub-zero winter with deathly cold, then a very cool cloudy summer with constant cold rain. Wonderful.  |

Year round Vostok winter. Like -80/-90 year round, maybe more continental but permanent sub -50. Can’t go outside ever without wearing a spacesuit and feeling miserable.

Stupid I know but here it is:  All these temps have been recorded on earth and average highs are like a Vostok winter. I’d imagine it being on the equator on the top of a 50,000’ mountain, Mars has Olympus Mons so this is plausible. Too high for clouds to ever reach so it’s permanently dry, sunny, and frigid. The dryness and lack of any clouds would lead to significant radiational cooling at night. Can’t get any worse this without going outside earth temp range but that would be stupid territory. |
