Sahih al-Bukhari 3260 (Book 59, Hadith 70) #3117
The Reason Behind Extreme Weather Conditions

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the reason for the extreme weather conditions on earth, which is due to Allah's permission for Hellfire to take two breaths in winter and summer.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "The (Hell) Fire complained to its Lord saying, 'O my Lord! My different parts eat up each other'. So, He allowed it to take two breaths, one in the winter and the other in summer, and this is the reason for the severe heat and the bitter cold you find (in weather).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا، فَقَالَتْ رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي الْحَرِّ، وَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الزَّمْهَرِيرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains why we experience extreme weather conditions such as severe heat and bitter cold. It is because Allah has allowed the Hellfire to take two breaths, one in winter and one in summer. This means that when it takes a breath during winter, it causes a cold wave of air to spread across the world, while when it takes a breath during summer, it causes an intense heatwave. This is why we experience such drastic changes in temperature throughout the year. The hadith also teaches us that everything happens according to Allah's will and permission; even something as seemingly insignificant as allowing Hellfire to take two breaths can have an effect on our lives here on Earth.
