Winds and weather are apt to be atrocious, but there have been SF novels speculating about life under such circumstances.

Winds and weather are apt to be atrocious, but there have been SF novels speculating about life under such circumstances.

In a recent novel I read, "Ark" by Stephen Baxter, there's a debate amongst the crew as to whether or not to settle on a tidally locked planet orbiting a red dwarf. One of the characters says something to the effect of, "We are not going to live on a Krypton!"

In the end they do just that, because it winds up being the best of a bad set of choices.
