Comparing to よくない, warui is much more assertive and, in some cases, is verging on rude.

So if I want to say “The weather is bad/not good today” then is it better to say “今日の天気が良くないですね” ?

@jessie011 Pick up better one according to the situation. If it's someone's wedding, yokunai would be better to say in front of the people, for instance. If you want to use the bad weather as an excuse for not going out with your wife, warui would work out better to discourage her.
