文化的背景

The 'Wajah' Connection
Always remember that 'kharaab mausam' is the perfect partner for 'ki wajah se' (because of). It makes your excuses sound much more natural.

What It Means
खराब मौसम is the ultimate universal excuse in Hindi. It literally translates to 'bad weather.' You use it when the sky looks angry. It works for rain, storms, or extreme heat. If the weather is making life difficult, it is खराब मौसम.
How To Use It
You can use it as a simple statement. Just say आज खराब मौसम है (Today is bad weather). You can also use it to explain delays. Pair it with की वजह से (because of). For example, खराब मौसम की वजह से देरी हुई (There was a delay because of bad weather). It is a very flexible collocation.
When To Use It
Use it when your flight is delayed. Use it when you want to cancel a meeting. It is perfect for small talk with neighbors. In India, the monsoon often brings खराब मौसम. It is also common during the dusty summer months. It is safe for both office and home.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for a light, romantic drizzle. Indians love the first rain of the season. That is सुहाना मौसम (pleasant weather), not खराब. Also, do not use it for minor temperature shifts. It implies a level of genuine inconvenience or discomfort. If you can still walk outside comfortably, it is not खराब yet.
Cultural Background
Weather is a massive conversation starter in India. The subcontinent has extreme seasons that dictate daily life. From the Himalayan cold to the coastal humidity, weather is unpredictable. खराब मौसम often refers to the chaos of the monsoon. It represents the shared struggle of traffic jams and flooded streets. It is a phrase that builds instant empathy between strangers.
Common Variations
You might hear मौसम खराब है which means the same thing. Some people use बुरा मौसम, but that sounds a bit poetic. In slang, people might just say मौसम सेट नहीं है (the weather isn't set). Stick to खराब मौसम for the most natural sound. It is the gold standard for complaining about the sky.
使い方のコツ
This phrase is safe for all levels of formality. In very formal writing, you might see 'प्रतिकूल मौसम' (pratikool mausam), but in 99% of life, 'kharaab mausam' is what people actually say.
The 'Wajah' Connection
Always remember that 'kharaab mausam' is the perfect partner for 'ki wajah se' (because of). It makes your excuses sound much more natural.
Don't be a killjoy
If it is raining and people are dancing or eating pakoras, calling it 'kharaab mausam' might make you look like a grump!
Heat is 'Bad' too
In many Western cultures, 'bad weather' implies rain or snow. In India, a 45°C (113°F) sunny day is definitely 'kharaab mausam'.
