The technical term is “bad weather” or simply “weather.”

Weather is a complex system that is affected primarily by (1) the sun, (2) Earth’s orbit around the sun, (3) Earth’s rotation, (4) gravity from the moon, (5) the moon’s orbit around the Earth, (6) cosmic radiation, and (7) the effects of all of the above on Earth’s atmosphere. SUV’s and cow farts may have some effect on weather, but they are not in the top 1000.

VERY WELL SAID!

Yes. That pesky Sun is number 1. And that involves a lot of complicated processes not only involving solar heat, but electrical effects and interactions with magnetospheres of the planets. Sunspot activity has a direct effect on electrical interaction with the Earth, causing weather changes. People often ignore the electrical effects on our iron core.
