Easy. July.

[Ian]

January. Or November. Probably January.

[mattie g]

January.

It's dark and cold and it doesn't snow much. There are no holidays to look forward to and we're a couple months away from spring. BAM!

[Amped]

July, not winter, not severe season, not hurricane season.

[WinterWxLuvr]

No contest, March

[Fozz]

November

[WxUSAF]

July.  March probably 2nd. 

[Ian]

July is one of my favs. I mean it's sad because peak storm season has passed or soon will but the summer nights make the days worth it. August on the other hand... Iffy.

[Fozz]

I'm good with a normal July... but anything like July 2010 or July 2011 = disgusting

[Bob Chill]

August. I'm pretty tired of humidity and bugs by then. My kids really get on my nerves after the first 7 weeks of summer break so that doesn't help. 

 

July is family beach week. I'll always love that month no matter how hot it is. 

[AlaskaETC]

Toss up between June, July, and August for me. I'll go with July.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

JJA all suck, but like Bob Chill said, by August I'm really sick of it.

 

NDJ is another crappy period too- lots of cold but generally no snow to show for it (except maybe after Jan 20 or so).

 

Edit: idk why everyone hates March so much.

[clueless]

March 40's and rain. Do not love it.

Got to be July. Sometimes we can pull off a decent August (2004), but there is no escaping July.

I thought this was "favorite" and voted for October.  I was perplexed about all the March, August, and July votes.  LOL.

 

I would say May is my least favorite.  Pollen, can get hot, and the day's are still getting longer.  There is nothing worse than a May heat wave, when you know you still have a month of climbing sun.

 

Last May was pretty nice though.... except for the pollen.

Only July 4th and the opening of NFL camps prevents July from being my least favorite.

[AvantHiatus]

April....August is a distant second. 

[wxdude64]

Hands down August for the humidity. July and June are in close running, as is early Sept some years.

[Deck Pic]

March used to be a no-brainer until it became a snow month....I went a little rogue, and didn't vote for July or August because I go to so many concerts and travel and camping and take time off, but in terms of the weather they are usually vile.  August can be ok.  I went April.

 

EDIT - start of baseball season....

 

hmmm...Gonna go July

[wxdude64]

Unofficially looks like we hate summer around here.......

[dailylurker]

March is usually the most boring weather month (except lately). April though early August I'm excited for thunderstorms. August through late September I'm excited for tropical cyclones. Then you have October and early November color and cool temps. December is a fresh winter setting in. March has fog and mud lol.

[StudentOfClimatology]

September, hands down. Aside from the occasional tropical threat, it's the most boring, stagnant month of the year. Too warm for snow, dewpoints still sky high, spiderwebs everywhere, etc.

July 2014 was as chilly as any in my memory. Felt like January compared to the 2010-2012 period.

[WEATHER53]

97/77 is 0 on scale of 10.  July.

[AvantHiatus]

The thing about July. It can be good and sometimes severe wx season can extend into the first half of the month.

 

August is boring because it's usually stable (lack of cold fronts?) and hot, and occuring before the peak of hurricane season. The winter months are okay, December the most interesting due to first snow etc. By late Feb winter turns stale personally.

 

April is a trainwreck due to all the fog and stability locally. It's a good month for most other areas especially the Midwest.

Least Fav: July. Pulse severe tstms.  

 

Fav: Ahhh October. Tranquil high pressure outside...tranquil low pressure inside the office. 

[wawarriors4]

March......as a HS baseball coach, having to work on baseball fields after snowmelt, cool rainy periods and not being able to get on the field for a while, March easily is the most infuriating month weather wise....Just want a string a relatively warm, sunny days so field can dry out

 

Edit- 40s and rain and mud, just a horrible month weather wise, especially after the 10th (no Snow really)

[Bob Chill]

Although I picked August. My overall least favorite 30 day weather period is March 15th-April 15th. It's pretty rare to have interesting weather during this period. It's usually bi-polar warm/cool/soggy/foggy/windy but not interesting.

do you not remember July 2009? markedly nicer
