The worst weather in the world would be in New Hampshire, that is, if you believe the folks at the Mount Washington Observatory. Mt Washington rises to a height of 6288 ft above sea level, at the intersection of major weather patterns in the northeastern United States. The combination of these weather patterns and the altitude of Mt Washington and the surrounding White Mountains create a unique environment, susceptible to bitter cold, high winds, rapidly changing weather conditions.

The world record for highest recorded surface wind speed of 231 mph was recorded on the summit of Mt Washington during a storm on April 12, 1932.

These conditions have prompted the folks at the Mt Washington Observatory to declare Mt Washington as "Home of the world's worst weather". For more info check out the website at www.mountwashington.org.

The world's worst weather? Clearly Vostok or the South Pole, both in Antarctica. Vostok has an average January temperature of -26F and an average August temp of -90F. It also holds the world record of -129F. The south pole, while about 10 degrees warmer, has six months each year where the sun never rises, at least 3 of which are totally dark. Add in wind, thin air from high elevation and zero moisture and there you have it.
