* In Creator/MarvelComics, the Casket of Ancient Winters is opened in the Simonson ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'' era. This ends up being a godsend for continuity-mad fans to explain away appearances of winter weather in other comics that couldn't have actually happened in winter because of the floating timeline.
* ComicBook/{{Storm}} tends to whip up fogs and tornadoes to suit her purposes, and then there's the time Dr. Doom turned her into a living statue. Claustrophobia + Weather Powers = continent-sized class 5 hurricane.

* Near the end of ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' Hiccup describes the climate along these lines: "It snows nine months out of the year and hails the other three." [[FridgeLogic And yet it's been bright and sunny the entire film.]]
** It even rains in one scene!
** That was hyperbole. In the beginning, Hiccup narrates (falsely, for dramatic purposes) that the place he lives is perfect, aside from the awful dragons. In the end, he turns it around by saying (falsely, for dramatic purposes) that the dragons are the only remotely tolerable thing about his home.

* The ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' story arc "Topsy Turvy World" featured this. The heroes first notice something is wrong when the weather in their hometown of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota gets so warm that the snow melts. This is believed to be impossible to the point that no thermometer in town goes above 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The heroes soon discover that weather is crazy all over the world and soon find out why. So much snow has fallen on the polar ice caps at the North Pole that the now top heavy Earth has tilted sideways causing the North Pole to now be at the equator and the tropical island of Riki Tiki was now the new North pole.

* As part of the central gameplay mechanic in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', multiple segments are dedicated to watching fog roll in Inaba after a constant rainstorm. This fog comes from a point in which the Midnight Channel has an overflow of fog, which rolls over, causing an extremely dense fog in Inaba, even in the middle of ''summer''. It eventually becomes lampshaded when the local weather channel decides that this phenomenon is bad for public health and warns the people, which is partially correct due to the people thrown within the TV end up with lowered stamina, but this is otherwise InsaneTrollLogic. The True Ending route takes this [[UpToEleven one step further]]: [[spoiler:an unusual fog creates a "Cloudy Day" that would have lasted forever if taken the OK[=/=]Bad Endings, and it's the exact same kind as the Midnight Channel's.]]

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Seasons in the series don't correspond to real life. Each season lasts for years and years on end, with no apparent set length, though it's mentioned that since dragons went extinct over a hundred years ago, summers have been progressively getting shorter and winter longer. At the start of the series, Westeros has been experiencing an unusually long summer (nearly a decade), but many people fear that it's a prelude to an even longer winter to come. Winter officially starts in the epilogue of ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'', when snow begins to fall on King's Landing.

Weather can be just off, with no explanation. This is usually EmpathicEnvironment or a significiant hindrance to what the characters intend. LawOfConservationOfDetail ensures that strange weather can not be just a background detail. Anyway, the WeatherReport certainly isn't going to predict this.
