Significado
To describe unpleasant weather conditions.
Contexto cultural
Germans value 'Wetterfestigkeit' (weather-proofness). Being able to handle 'schlechtes Wetter' is seen as a sign of character. In the North, 'schlechtes Wetter' is so common it's called 'Schietwetter'. Locals often say 'Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur die falsche Einstellung' (There is no bad weather, only the wrong attitude). In the Alps, bad weather can be dangerous. People take 'schlechtes Wetter' very seriously when planning mountain tours. Swiss people often use the weather as a neutral starting point for conversations in their many dialects, though the High German 'Das Wetter ist schlecht' is understood by all.
