Myth: No weather is ill, if the wind is still

Myth: There will be no "bad" weather, if the wind is still.

Answer: Mostly True.

The Science: Still or calm winds are usually found towards the middle of a high pressure system or air mass. While precipitation is usually found near the boundaries of air masses.  This is why if the winds are calm or still that there shouldn't be any precipitation. However, there is always that chance that it could be wrong.

Side note, there is no "bad" weather or "good" weather. Weather is just weather, people just associated rain with "bad" weather and sunshine with "good" weather.
