اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what is in it and the goodness of what it has been sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it has been sent with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma fiha wa khaira ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.

Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'Do not abuse the wind, but when you see something you dislike, say: O Allah, indeed I ask You for the good of this wind and the good of what is in it and the good of what it has been sent with. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of this wind and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what it has been sent with.' (Sahih Muslim 1618). While the hadith specifically mentions the wind, the scholars have extended its application to other forms of adverse weather, such as extreme heat and humidity, as they share a similar cause (atmospheric conditions) and impact.
