Here's 7 Weather Related Movies to Stream in Order to Beat the Summer Heat

We all know this summer heat has been insane. For folks in Arizona, it's been hot enough plane flights have been cancelled. In Oklahoma and Kansas, it's been humid enough you could take a shower and you'd still be drying off the very next day. It's a heat wave that has even sent people in England scurrying into shorts for work before getting sent home from work.

While this weather certainly sucks due to the heat waves hitting, nothing sucks more than what our ten movie protagonists, and supporting characters had to go through. So lets find out just how we can cool you off before giving you a nice summer shower.

7. The Day After Tomorrow

So the heat is finally getting to you, but for Sam Hall (Jake Gylenhall), Laura Chapman (Emmy Rossum), Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), and Dr. Lucy Hall (Sela Ward); the weather has hit a catastrophically cold period as a new ice age has began to set in across the world. With it freezing most of it, there's almost no room for intense heatwaves, and tropical storms.

Luckily for us, their intense ice age is something we may not have to worry about in our life times. If that doesn't cool you off, our next movie surely will as you curl up under your fan in hopes to relax.

6. Snowpiercer

If humanity hasn't learned, it's that we can't exactly control Mother Nature. She's a monster all on her own that shouldn't be tampered with. When she decides to get annoyed or upset, she definitely will. Snowpiercer proves to be just that movie that shows how devastated humanity can get if they are ill prepared for such a task. While nature plays a huge role, the name of the game is survival, and unfortunately for the characters there's also a revolution at hand as those int he back of the train are tired of being walked on.

Like any film, the natural disaster that has occurred sets the stage for what occurs behind this massive revolution. Due to it, there's no doubt that little things become much bigger for those survivors, but what our next group has coming for them is a bit more damning if you plan on trying to get out of the heat and into a splash of water.

5. The Finest Hours

While this one isn't a end-of-days or highly natural disaster film, it's a movie that's based on real-life events that transpired. In 1952 the most astonishing rescue for the Coast Guard took place as one of the worst and most damning storms in the Coast Guard's history took place. Bernard Webber (Chris Pine) has undergone one of the most daring rescues in history as the SS Pendleton and the SS Fort Mercer have taken unexpected damage.

Because of this the rescue comes in as daring due to the dangers coming with the storms that are rolling in. Due to the dangers at sea, the rescue is daring as the weather worsens, and even drives them to use every bit of survival abilities they know how to pull together.

4. Into the Storm

So here we are. The big weather season where meteorologists are on high alert due to rapidly changing climates as we transition from spring, to summer, to fall. For the Midwestern United States, this is a time of the year that can prove to be a nightmare fueling experience since it's all too much of a reality for them. For us folks in Oklahoma, this movie serves as too much of a reality for what we experience year-in-and-year-out at this time of the year. While we've certainly never seen a Tornado approach the F5-F6 category, Oklahoma felt a shock similar to this one on May 3rd, 1999.

Creepy enough for everyone in Silverton, Oklahoma,. Into the Storm serves as a Hellacious reminder of what had actually happened there due to a multiple tornado outbreak that hit the small sleepy town in rural Oklahoma. If anything should tell you what to expect, this movie will be right up your alley if you are wanting to cool off with some spring showers and some high-winds in order to cool off.

3. Twister

If you're from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri; you're tired of Tornado's. We know their devastating effect, but when it comes to humidity, this heat wave, and no rain? Some is better than none. Fortunately for us, 1996 was a solid year for great movies for us to watch. We all know both meteorologist Jo (Jodie Foster) and her estranged husband, Bill Harding (Bill Paxton). Their adventure takes place in one of the worst tornado outbreaks that are expected to hit the Midwest in modern days.

Because of this Bill and Jo team up once more to work together in order to create an advanced storm warning system to help predict tornadoes. Unfortunately for Bill, this means helping Jo face down the deadliest weather fronts in the Midwest. Luckily for them, DOROTHY isn't quite working after a failed attempt. Now DOT-3 is being prepared for launch. While this all sounds fun, they tend to get stuck in tornado, after tornado, after tornado. Lets just say, they'll cool you off due to all the rain and storms they end up going through.

2. Waterworld

When it comes to global warming, we can all agree that something is wrong with our planet, and we all know what is going on. It has been troubling us all due to the simple fact that we've been driving up green house gases. In our film that takes the number five spot, we can all expect that this may very well happen to our own planet sometime in the next century.

For Kevin Costner's character The Mariner, we get to see the world as it will be once the sea levels rise to a point that our great skyscrapers will be towered by sea level waters. The remnants of humanity become a set of ramshackled floating towns of atolls. Ones that have long forgot what it would be like to have dry land. The adventure takes place between Enola (Tina Majorino), The Mariner (Costner), and even a band of pirates lead by the one and only Deacon (Dennis Hopper). Their adventure gets tipped over sideways when it comes to Kevin Costner helping Enola and her guardian Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) as they seek to find the legendary Dryland that only their quest to find can unlock.

1. The Colony

While Kevin Costner and his group are wading in the waters of a post-apocalyptic Earth due to global warming, our next group is hiding underground due to humanities attempts to reverse engineer our global warming. What caused theirs? Machines humanity had created in order to stop the warming climate. Ones that set forth to cool Earth down and thus they did. However, one day these very machines managed to break down and stop cooling Earth in the ways we need. In the year 2045, Briggs (Laurence Fishburne) and Mason (Bill Paxton) are forced to search other bunkers due to the distress signal sent out.

Their findings at Colony 5? Blood, bodies, and a hint that humanity has a chance to redeem itself as a group has fixed one of the machines. This allows humanity to begin planting seeds in the freshly exposed soil in order to attempt rebuilding Earth the way humanity once knew it. While this sounds easy, there's always a wrench thrown in someones path: Cannibals. Their adventure is dangerous and cold. You'll definitely want to bring your best winter jacket for this one.
