It's unfortunate weather.

Hi,

Is "It's unfortunate weather" as good as an alternative as "The weather is bad"? Does it sound peculiar or hanging?

Many thanks,
Cantik

It doesn't sound very natural unless it is taking place in the midst of a conversation, and even then, not natural to me.

What a shame. The picnic is scheduled for today. All those people and now this rain. This weather was very unfortunate.

Either one would be right - this weather IS, since it's still raining (or whatever), or this weather WAS kind of thinking back to when it started to rain (or be 100 degrees in the shade, or whatever it was that was unfortunate about the weather).
