Steer clear of adverse anything. If it's adverse, it's working against you — like adverse weather conditions or the adverse effects of waxing your back.
Coming from the Latin adversus meaning "turned against," adverse is an adjective describing a factor that seems to work against or actively harm something. Think of the related word, adversary, which means enemy or opponent, so that if something is adverse, it acts as if it were the enemy. Often you can find expressions such as "he is risk adverse" as a way to say that someone doesn't like taking risks.

    Adverse and averse are both turn-offs, but adverse is  something harmful, and averse is a strong feeling of dislike. Rainstorms  can cause adverse conditions, and many people are averse to  rain.

Adverse describes something that works  against you, like a tornado or a computer crash, and is usually applied to  things. It's often followed by the word effects:

More  significantly, he has shown that if such ageing cells are selectively  destroyed, these adverse effects go away. (Economist)
  
    The pact was  intended to limit the adverse effects of climate change but only obliged  developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (Scientific American)

Averse is usually applied to  feelings, attitudes, or people. It's a strong feeling of opposition — it's a  big "no thanks" and it's often followed by to. Averse also goes  with risk to describe people (or banks) who don't like taking them:

Balth isn't averse to including human beings in his work. (Seattle Times)
  
    Nevertheless, Ms.  Fishbein is not averse to a large sociable gathering. (New York Times)
  
    Your survey shows  that banks are more risk-averse than they used to be. (Business Week)

If it's a force of nature  working against you, use adverse. Kick out the "d" and a person can be averseto or againstanything, like rainy days or gambling.
