Consider connecting the two sentences.
e.g.

I was in the US for 3 months last year, and the weather there was not (that/all that/really all that) good.

"Climate" refers to much-longer-term weather conditions.

I prefer using more descriptive adjectives such as "extreme", "temperate, "cold", "dry", "hot", "continental", "subtropical" ... etc.
