We had a thread on this previously, but it was from 2012 and has lay dormant for a very long time. So I invite you to make or post the temperatures, rainfall, and sunshine of your nightmares!
I have many different climates that I would consider nightmare climates because if it's not the type of weather I like, odds are I dislike it. I'll tease you with two right now, and more will come later. The first one is Sulfurdrip City, which is a very small village of about 200 people. It is always very hot in Sulfurdrip City, with average highs throughout the year exceeding 120°F (49°C) and summer lows often exceeding that as well. The all-time record low is 102°F (39°C) and the all-time record high is 150°F (66°C). Humidity is also extremely high, around 80% throughout the year. The average August dew point is a lethal 118°F (48°C), hence why residents stay inside their (albeit poorly) air conditioned homes all year.
It rains every day, but there are never decent forms. The rain falls in a near constant drizzle that darkens the sky to an eerie dark gray and amounts to just 0.08" (2 mm) per day. The sun has never made an appearance since the weather station opened in 1970, and no geological evidence suggests the sun has shone in this area.
Yuckyhot City, on the other hand, is a city of 200,000 that has arguably just as bad of a climate. Winter highs still average 120°F (49°C) and summer highs can be as high as 160°F (71°C). Temperatures below 80°F (27°C) have never been recorded, and temperatures below 90°F (32°C) are rare, even in the winter. The all-time record high was 210.7°F (99.3°C) on 12 August 1987.
In addition to the heat, the humidity can be unbearable and downright lethal as well. The average August dew point is a lethal 124°F (51°C), hence why residents stay inside their (albeit poorly) air conditioned homes all summer.
No clouds have blocked or obscured the sun in Yuckyhot City, let alone rain having fallen, since the weather station opened in 1970, and no geological evidence suggests it has rained in this area.
My actual full-blown nightmare climate will be posted in a few days, when I find the sheet of paper I have the data on.
Now it's your turn! It doesn't have to be realistic (mine aren't), just horrible!
(By the way, could someone please go to my ideal climate thread and figure out the average ideal climate? I'm too lazy to do it myself, so any help would be greatly appreciated.)

Reason: add
I tend to reserve the 'F' grade to unlivable climates like Mecca and Omyakon, but looking at the whole year, a monotonic cool climate is the worst. I don't need to create a climate box, as it exists in real life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerguelen_Islands#Climate

OP - unrealistic and lame. Doesn't add any discussion value whatsoever. Useless AdriannaSpamming copy. Next...
We had a thread about this in 2012, and I thought I would bring it back. The AdriannaSmiling-like users are in fact not the kind of user I want to emulate, as they do not add anything to the forum. I just decided to bring back a thread on the climates of our nightmares, and I thought I'd add two of my own. Being unrealistically bad was the point.
Other users have posted real climates as their nightmare climates, and that's okay. I, on the other hand, would consider the two I posted to be true nightmares, as well as several other unrealistic fictional climates (which I have not posted yet).
Galaxyman, I suggest you look through the original thread and not flame people for trying to have some fun.

I'm surprised.
