This mostly often happens with Christmas, but Halloween is also a notable offender. Pick a HalloweenEpisode, any Halloween episode, and you'll realize quickly that it's always a nice night for trick-or-treating, despite the abundance of rainfall during the season. At best, you get a cloudy, windy night for some spooky atmosphere, but thunderstorms only show up if it's an actual horror story. See EmpathicEnvironment.

It may be a good idea to point out the fact that it may have never once rained on Halloween in fiction might be notable. Pick a HalloweenEpisode, any Halloween episode, and you'll realize quickly that it is always a nice night for trick-or-treating. Halloween thunderstorms aren't all that odd in the horror genre, though.

Related to LetThereBeSnow, where someone asks for, and gets, Christmas snow in a usually non-snowy location. DreamingOfAWhiteChristmas is a {{subtrope}}.

For example, on the Fourth of July, the sky is always going to be sunny and clear (for barbecuing and fireworks), and on Christmas, snow is essentially inevitable. This makes sense considering those events happen in the middle of American summer and winter respectively, but also seemingly ignores all the various, sometimes random factors that affect weather. Just because it snows in a certain day in a certain year doesn't mean that next year will be the same after all. This can lead to geographical inaccuracies if a specific location in the US starts exhibiting weather that very rarely or never actually materializes in that region.

More to the point, it's never snowed on Halloween in fiction, even though there's a lot of parts of the world where it does so on occasion. Halloween thunderstorms aren't all that odd in the horror genre, though.

Fourth of July rain or a Christmas with no snow happens occasionally but never in any works. DreamingOfAWhiteChristmas is the {{subtrope}}.

For example, on the Fourth of July, the sky is always going to be sunny and clear (for barbecuing and fireworks), and on Christmas, snow is essentially inevitable. This makes sense considering those events happen in the middle of summer and winter respectively, but completely ignores the fact that weather can be unpredictable.

During holidays, the weather is always perfectly appropriate. For example, on the Fourth of July, it's sunny (for barbecuing and fireworks), and on Christmas, it always snows.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' always has Christmas snow. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. Book.]]

* Lampshaded and justified in ''Literature/GoodOmens''. The area where the child Antichrist lives always gets "appropriate" weather (snow on Christmas etc) because said Antichrist is unconsciously using his powers to warp reality and make it so.

* Sometimes WeatherDissonance comes into play. [[http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=19990601&id=9usyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cggGAAAAIBAJ&pg=1769,71566 This]] report for the Free Lance Star in 1999 explains this.

* It was a RunningGag on ''Series/DoctorWho'' for this to be {{Subverted}}. It would always snow on Christmas in London...only it wouldn't be real snow but ash from a blown up spaceship or something.

* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' it's always summer, so you have to imagine Independence Day is in there somewhere. And it's always sunny. (Except in the Christmas episode. Can you guess what the weather was then? Yup, snow. Again.) Anyone sensing a pattern? Also they have a ChristmasInJuly episode where they make fake snow.
